Behind Bars by The Jayhawks Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1986

[Verse 1]
Behind bars
The color of the sun will break this heart of mine
Behind bars
Midnight in a jail, nothing seems right
And I know the shame you suffered
The night I held you tight
Behind bars
I know what it means to stumble down and fall

[Chorus]
These prison walls are real
You have built around my love, kept from dying
I climb the stairs to my room
Alone to find your memory there to haunt me

[Verse 2]
Behind bars
The color of the sun will break this heart of mine
And I know the shame you suffered
The night I held you tight
Behind bars
Midnight in a jail, nothing seems right
[Chorus]
These prison walls are real
You have built around my love, kept from dying
I climb the stairs to my room
Alone to find your memory there to haunt me

[Outro]
Behind bars
The color of the sun will break this
Heart of mine
