The Day I Broke The Law

UB 40 · Cover Up [2001]

Tomorrow I'll be coming home



I hope to find you all alone



With open arms to greet me at the door.



You cried as I was led away



It seems like only yesterday



But after all these years I can't be sure



[Chorus:]



While I've been dreaming dreams of you



Not knowing what your going through



I prayed that you'd remember me



But I know life goes on you see



I broke your heart the day I broke the law



The man you know don't hurt no more



My tears were shed behind locked door



I've told myself your gone ten thousand times.



Still when it got to much too bear



I'd run my fingers through your hair



Your kissing lips were always on my mind.



[Chorus]



So yesterday they set me free



They gave me back my liberty



They gave me something else I can't ignore,



The chance to go back where I'm from



The chance to even call upon



My friends but they don't live here anymore...



[Chorus]
