The Wall

You call me
Without a sound
What you ask
Can't reach my mind

This wall 'round
Kills every word
Inward bound
No sound to be heard

Why can't I hear your voice
All the words pass me by
Your thoughts keep crushing me
I cry, I cry

Why am I deaf to your voice
Can't hear your singing at all
Keeps us parted oh this aching
Wall, this wall

Why don't you wait
Why don't you cry
Why don't you ask me
When you're off to fly

This wall is due
To empty the heart
But a song breaks through
And calls from afar

The tree of your life is a branch of my own
But your soul has left me long before
Your tears burn but they don't hurt
No more, no more

Hand in hand yet torn apart
The song has gone, mere echoes to fall
We are eternally left on our own
By the wall, the wall
