The Very Best of Chris Norman

I have walked a hundred miles
And cried a hundred tears
I've heard the sound of innocence
I lost throughout the years
And I've stumbled to my bed
In so many Hotel rooms
And forgot too many faces all too soon


And if you stand there and ask of me
How many lies I've been told
How many times I've been left out 
in the cold


Chorus:
Don't fence me in don't leave me out
'Cos I don't know what life's about
Though I've been there 
I have my doubts of where I am
Don't fence me in don't bleed me dry
Don't try to tell me where or why
Before another day goes by 
don't fence me in, ohhhh...
don't fence me in


I have seen a blood red sky
Above a quiet place
And watched a man be ridiculed
For the colour of his face
And I heard a thousand tongues
All twisted by the truth
Condemning all the guilty 
without proof


So don't just stand there 
and laugh at me
And turn your face to the wall
Well I don't know if the preacher 
prays for all


Chorus:
Don't fence me in don't leave me out
'Cos I don't know what life's about
Though I've been there 
I have my doubts of where I am
Don't fence me in don't bleed me dry
Don't try to tell me where or why
Before another day goes by 
don't fence me in, ohhhh...
don't fence me in, ohhhh...
don't fence me in
don't fence me in ...
