The Wailing Wall Songtext

von Crime & The City Solution

Part her down the middle
A waiting girl
Behind a wailing wall
Oh hum a waiting girl
She separates the lovers
Hands and hearts
Separates the loving
Waiting hearts and hands
Two upon her left hand
Two upon her right
Says let's get it right get it straight
And he, he will protect her
And she, will she reject her?
And three, three will be bound together
She lost a trusted mentor
Beloved girl hold up a broken centre
Who let a booted army enter
Tread the tender flesh and tender
Hope in the payment and faith in the lender

Three place cloth over her eyes
And four bolds her down
And five loosens the ties
Six takes pictures of her body as it lies
And she lies
She lies behing the wailing wall

Poison comes in words across the sea
Word from home, leave you alone
Just more baggage for you
Take off her red shoes and show her to me
Take off her blue skirt and show her to me
She led the way, made her own way
The balance restored, the payment received
The rain their course right through her
Rain in all directions, home in all directions
Oh and she thanks no one
And no one thanks her
He was was not her keeper
And she, sche could not reach her
She builts a wall that wailed
She builts a tall wall that failed
