The Wall

They built a wall, built a wall
Laid a border between us
Cut our old house in two
We collected what we could
To start anew, start alone

You and I each built a home
On each side of the wall
Winter's cold without you near
There's no fuel there's no fear
Nothing here in my heart

Build it up strong
It won't take long to fortify it
Nothing's gonna break it
Nothing's gonna break it down this time

Years go by, not a bird sings in my yard
I drown my senses in the drink, nothing else to do but
Climb my tower and throw rocks at you
Climb my tower and throw rocks at you

Years go by, not a bird sings in my yard
I drown my senses in the drink, nothing else to do but
Climb my tower and throw rocks at you
Climb my tower and throw rocks at you

They built a wall, built a wall
Laid a problem between us
Now my fears how they grow
Of the unknown you've become
Living on the other side

They sparked a war, sparked a war
When they built that bloody wall
Now I hoard what is mine
Now we don't see eye to eye
No, don't want to share a thing

We've become strangers
We've become dangers to each other
To each other, to each other

Years go by, not a bird sings in my yard
I drown my senses in the drink, nothing else to do but
Climb my tower and throw rocks at you
Climb my tower and throw rocks at you

Years go by, not a bird sings in my yard
I drown my senses in the drink, nothing else to do but
Climb my tower and throw rocks at you
Climb my tower and throw rocks at you
