Chris De Burgh - Leningrad lyrics

There she stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time
And the memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war

For the girl in the photograph, much had changed in the years that passed
But her longing for the boy she loved was still the same since the war

It was a moonless night upon the road of life, when he'd held her to say goodbye
Many more would survive, for he stayed behind to help them live again

When they met at the garden gate, tears would fall from a deep embrace
For she never knew what happened to the boy she loved in the war

Back in those happy days, before the soldiers came
To break down the ones who remained
And they only survived, who could learn to die, and live to fight again

There they stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time
And their memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war
