Walls

There was a time
Things felt so right
You were my sunshine through the day
I your moonlight at night

Long walks – Long talks
Quite moments in our arms
Slowly though the ships have sailed
Distant ports – quite storm rages on

So I’ve been thinking
Where we go from here
Through the fear – through the blame
Do we lose everything we share

As for me – I see
The path is finally clear
Why should that be destined fate
For hurt to be the cross we bear

So I don’t want to wait
Until the Walls fall down
Save what we can – take a last stand
Why pretend to hold on

No I don’t want to wait
’till the Walls fall down
Baby we tried – I know we tried
and I can’t hold on

(Break)

I don’t want to wait
Until the Walls fall down
Save what we can – take a last stand
Why pretend to hold on

No I don’t want to wait
’till the Walls fall down
Baby we tried – I know we tried
and I can’t hold on

Save what we can – take a last stand
Why pretend to hold on
Baby we tried – I know we tried
and I can’t hold on

Baby we tried – I know we tried
and I can’t hold on
