Wailing Wall

Before the night is over, I will have you down Hold you there, 'till everything comes clear 'Cause you look so much like me and it's hard for me to see Who's holding who But isn't that what we do? The colours of this room never change The fragile friends that come and go and it's harder to reveal So we shut our eyes and steal again From what we know I wish I could let it go You were my wailing wall My endless fascination The voice of inspiration in an empty hall You were my wailing wall When the nights would never end Twisting closer to the bend where the lonely fall You were my wailing wall Please don't get too sentimental, the past is just the past Now I have to live from day to day Still, I've come to see the healer From the back door of the dealer Where the broken souls Get lost in the undertow You were my wailing wall My endless fascination The voice of inspiration in an empty hall You were my wailing wall When the nights would never end Twisting closer to the bend where the lonely fall You were my wailing wall Flipping through the names Of the friends I haven't burned Pages fall like leaves From the lessons never learned Secrets only breathe If you hold them to your chest And nothing smells like fear Nothing suffers like regret You were my wailing wall My endless fascination The voice of inspiration in an empty hall You were my wailing wall When the nights would never end Twisting closer to the bend where the lonely fall You were my wailing wall You were my wailing wall When the nights would never end Twisting closer to the bend where the lonely fall You were my wailing wall My wailing wall
