Tumbling Down

You told me once and you told me twice
I never listen to good advice
I looked around and I went to ground
But the walls were tumbling down

I ran real far and I ran real wide
I wished for you to be at my side
What's done is done
It's carved in stone
The walls came tumbling down

When the walls come tumbling down
There's no one to ask there's no one around
When the walls come tumbling down
Don't be a fool get your ear to the ground

What was it that you said to me
About love and joy and destiny?
There's nothing wrong, it's nothing dear
But the walls are tumbling down
I'm looking through your soggy eyes
I won't discuss what I know are lies
You're better off finding a place to hide
Because the walls are tumbling down

When the walls come tumbling down
There's no one to ask there's no one around
When the walls come tumbling down
Don't be a fool get your ear to the ground

It snowed I froze in rain and hail
I left behind a breadcrumb trail
Too blind to see what could it be
The walls are tumbling down

I sit and think I've time alone
I don't think about a ringing phone
A rowboat on a lake so calm
I won't hear it tumbling down

When the walls come tumbling down
There's no one to ask there's no one around
When the walls come tumbling down
Don't be a fool get your ear to the ground
