A5                                        D5             A5
He was there the night the wall came down.
A5                          F#5       D5
He lost her in the endless crowd,
B5                 E5          A5            D5
In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross.
A5                                 D5          A5
He sent cries aloft for his fellow man,
A5                           F#5          D5
His fingers slipping from her hand,
B5                  E5           A5          D5
The rain clouds prowling overhead.

A5                                      D5              A5
She was there the night the wall came down.
A5                          F#5       D5
She faded into that newborn crowd
B5                 E5          A5            D5
Like a warning of what could be lost.
A5                                      D5              A5
Through the perforated night she ran,
A5                          F#5       D5
Her fingers slipping from his hand
B5                  E5         
And she breathed in freedom
             A5          D5
Before daylight tread.

A5                                      D5              A5
They were there the night the wall was drowned
A5                          F#5       D5
In the surging of that tidal crowd
B5                 E5          
An old world made new
           A5            D5
On the same holy ground.
A5                                      D5          A5
She found him standing, looking lost
A5                          F#5       D5
In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross,
B5                       E5             A5          D5
And he closed his eyes and heard no sound
B5                       E5           A5          D5
But her breathing warm against his mouth.
