Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache

Like a madman I'm up in the mornin'

Headin' for the walls of heartache

Workin' everyday

Bringin' home the pay of heartbreak

You are gone, and the walls get higher

They are built from the tears of cryin'

Oh, I got to bring you back

I'm workin' till the day I'm dyin', oh yeah

Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby

I'm a carpenter of love and affection

Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby

Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears

And build you up a house of love, yeah

Breakin' down the walls of heartache (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Takin' down the walls of heartache, baby

Takin' down the walls of heartache (Shakin' down, shakin' down, shakin' down)

Shakin' down the walls of heartache

Brick by brick, I'm tearin' it down, yeah, babe

Through the lonely night, the neighbors hear me

Chip-chippin' at the walls of heartache

Callin' out your name

Echoin' the pain of heartbreak

And your face is there before me

Writin' words of no tomorrow

Your letter of goodbye

Is written on the walls of sorrow, oh yeah

Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby

I'm a carpenter of love and affection

Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby

Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears

And build you up a house of love, yeah

Breakin' down the walls of heartache (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Takin' down the walls of heartache, baby

Takin' down the walls of heartache (Shakin' down, shakin', shakin' down)

Shakin' down the walls of heartache

Tearin' them down (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)

Tearin' them down (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)

Watch me, baby

I'm a carpenter (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)

A carpenter of love

Love and affection (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)

Brick by brick (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)

Tearin' them down

Breakin' down the walls of heartache
