Don't let them talk don't let them tell you stories about the warDon't let them in don't let them steal the gold in your heart And if it's hard to do alone come on and take my hand Don't be afraid together we'll fight To keep the cruelty out of our lives
Let's build a room let's build a room Where only lovers inside can breathe the air Let's build a room let's build a room Were the only thing is a bed on the floor Let's build a room let's build a room I'm sure the birds in the trees can tell exactly how To build a room to build a room a room for love
The song’s lyrics contrast a peaceful, romantic interior with a turbulent exterior described through references to "war" and "cruelty".
