Leningrad Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

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;
