Rosanne Cash - 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.
