Emmylou Harris "Western Wall" |
(Rosanne Cash) I stand here by the western wall Maybe a little of that wall stands inside of us all I shove my prayers in the cracks I've got nothing to lose no one to answer back. All these years I've brought up for review Wasn't taught this but I learned something new And to answer the distance call At the western wall. I've got a heart full of fear And I offer it on this alter of tears Red dust settles deep in my skin I don't know where it start and where I begin. It's a crumbling pile of broken stones It ain't much but it might be home If I ever loved a place at all It's the western wall. I don't know if God was ever a man But if she was I think I understand Why he found a place to break his fall Near the western wall... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
