Fences and Barriers
Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whilst others wait, and wait, and wait
We glide into this jam

You’re stirin’ up a revolution in my mind
The closer I get to you baby
You open up the windows of my soul
You do something to me that I never thought possible
(Fences and barriers)
All seem to disappear when you are near, they’re gone
(Gone are the seeds of doubt)
They’re no longer here when you appear

(Fences and barriers), no more, no more, no more
(Fences and barriers), gone, gone, gone
(Fences and barriers), they’re all gone baby

Your caresses speak, they tell a tale
Of a journey to love
Boy you’re blowin’ my mind like a hurricane
You’re the turnin’ tide and this love cannot hide

(Fences and barriers)
All seem to disappear when you are near
(Gone are the seeds of doubt)
They’re no longer here when you appear, they’re long gone baby

(Fences and barriers), no more, no more, no more
(Fences and barriers), they’re gone, gone, gone
(Fences and barriers), no more, no more, no more

There is nothing in this world that gets to me like you do
The way you do the things you do
No nothing in this universe that compares to you

(Fences and barriers), no more, no more, no more
(Fences and barriers), ooh




(Fences and barriers), no more baby
No more, no more
