Like a madman I'm up in the mornin'
Headin' for the walls of heartache
Workin' everyday
Bringin' home the pay of heartbreak
You are gone and the walls get higher
They are built from the tears of cryin'
Oh, I got to bring you back
I'm workin' 'til the day I'm dyin
Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
I'm a carpenter of love and affection
Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love
(Breakin' down thе walls of heartache)
Takin' down the walls of hеartache
(Takin' down the walls of heartache)
Shakin' down the walls of heartache
Through the lonely night, the neighbors hear me
Chip-chippin' at the walls of heartache
Callin' out your name
Echoin' the pain of heartbreak
And your face is there before me
Writin' words of no tomorrow
Your letter of goodbye
Is written on the walls of sorrow, oh yeah
Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
I'm a carpenter of love and affection
Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love, yeah
(Breakin' down the walls of heartache)
Takin' down the walls of heartache
(Takin' down the walls of heartache)
Shakin' down the walls of heartache
