Over here the ladies all want sweet perfume But there's never a rose And over the roses are frightened to bloom So they never can grow
And over here they need wool For weaving their baby's new clothes But nobody has any wool And the sheep are all lost in the harbour Lost in the harbour
And over here they want diamonds to wear But there aren't any here And over there everyone's hiding their tears But they're crying inside
And the wall won't come down Till they're no longer afraid of themselves And if you don't believe me ask yourselves And then I can come down to the harbour Down to the harbour
And then I will fill the ocean back up with my tears I still have a couple more years And then I can come back to the harbour Down to the harbour
