The Day I Broke The Law - UB40

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

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

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

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…

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
