Leningrad Songtext / Lyric

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;



There they stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time,

And their memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war.
