Kiev Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

My friends, it's not what you were famous for 

But now the whole world's watching you 

If we could help you then you know we would 

But we don't know just what to do 

Eye to eye our ways are not the same 

We never tried to understand 

But it could pass to each of us you name 

Then who's the one to take the blame 

Kiev, a candle with a flame 

You'll never be the same 

Our hearts go out to you 

And what you're going through 

They've thrown away your past 

Just like an empty glass 

Into the fire 

Someone wiser took the steppe from you 

I'm sure with reason it was right 

But now it seems the whole world's blaming you 

And who's the one to put things right 

Kiev, a candle with a flame 

You'll never be the same 

Our hearts go out to you 

And what you're going through 

They've thrown away your past 

Just like an empty glass 

Into the fire 

Oh Kiev, a candle with a flame 

You'll never be the same 

We all will understand 

You're really not to blame 

They've thrown away your past 

Just like an empty glass 

Into the fire, oh Kiev
