(rosanne cash)
i stand here by the western wall
maybe a little of that wall stands inside of us all
i shove my prayers in the cracks
i've got nothing to lose no one to answer back
all these years i've brought up for review
wasn't taught this but i learned something new
and to answer the distance call
at the western wall
i've got a heart full of fear
and i offer it on this alter of tears
red dust settles deep in my skin
i don't know where it start and where i begin
it's a crumbling 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
i dont 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 |
