Western Wall lyrics

I stand here by the Western Wall,
Baby, look at that wall, standin` silent an` tall.
An` I shove my prayers in the cracks.
Got nothin` to lose, no-one to answer back.
All these years I`ve brought up for review,
Wasn`t taught this but I learned somethin` new.
Had to answer a distant call,
At the Western Wall.

An` I`ve got a heart full of fear,
An` I offer it up on this altar of tears.



Red dust settles deep in my skin.
Don`t know where it starts or where I begin.
It`s a crumblin` 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.

Instrumental break.

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.
