Walls

He comes in each evening where the music is loud

And keeps to himself in a blue collar crowd

He once had a future, he had it all

Built his world 'round a woman but now he builds walls

They say he was married to a Birmingham dream

He built her a mansion fit for a queen

But she up and left him for some fool from St. Paul

She tore down his mansion and left him with walls

Ever since she's been gone

He's been stacking stones 'round his heart

And he won't tear them down

While her memory's still around

So he just sits there alone in the dark

Ever since she's been gone

He's been stacking stones 'round his heart

And he won't tear them down

While her memory's still around

So he just sits there alone in the dark

He comes in each evening where the music is loud

And keeps to himself in a blue collar crowd

He once had a future, oh he had it all

Built his world 'round a woman but now he builds walls
