Kiev - Barclay James Harvest

My friends it’s not what you were famous for

But now the whole world’s watching you

If we could help you then you know we would

But we don’t know just what to do Eye to eye our ways are not the same

We never tried to understand

But it could pass to each of us you name

Then who’s the one to take the blame

Kiev, a candle with a flame

You’ll never be the same

Our hearts go out to you

And what you’re going through

They’ve thrown away your past

Just like an empty glass

Into the fire

Someone wiser took the Steppe from you

I’m sure with reason it was right

But now it seems the whole world’s blaming you

And who’s the one to put things right

Kiev, a candle with a flame

You’ll never be the same

Our hearts go out to you

And what you’re going through

They’ve thrown away your past

Just like an empty glass

Into the fire

Kiev, a candle with a flame

You’ll never be the same

We all will understand

You’re really not to blame

They’ve thrown away your past

Just like an empty glass

Into the fire Kiev
