Walls Lyrics

Meklit Hadero Walls

Be gentle

Be gentle, gentle with me

I feel fragile this year

Be gentle, gentle with me

And the walls

The walls

I counted ten thousand walls around my heart

Can't you see my walls

Some are made of cardboard

Some are made of clay

Some are made of memories

Of that sad, sad day

Oh I know every single one of my walls

I walk amongst them, in between them, shout from on top of them

I walk amongst them, in between them, shout from on top of my…

Some hold bones

Like graveyard stones

Like fossils in the sea

Some are painted red

For mystic me

One has a flower growing sideways

Out of a crack

And one day that plant may grow

That wall will crumble, crumble, crumble

They appear and disappear

There's one that knows when you're not here

It's when I miss you that I

See right through that wall

But when you're with me

All I can see is

Brick and mortar and mud

Why do you, do you

Do this to me, do you, do you

Do you, do you do?

Can walls have roots

Or branches like a tree

I don't know how deep this goes

You got to help me, help me, help me

Please, please, please
