Wailing Wall Lyrics

Stephen Fearing 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
