Breakin’ Down the Walls of Heartache

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, 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) Yeah, yeah, yeah
Takin' down the walls of heartache, baby
(Takin' down the walls of heartache) Shakin' down, shakin' down
Shakin' down the walls of heartache

Brick by brick, I'm tearin' it down, yeah, babe

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) Yeah, yeah, yeah
Takin' down the walls of heartache, baby
(Takin' down the walls of heartache) Shakin' down, shakin'
Shakin' down the walls of heartache

Tearin' them down (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)
Tearin' them down (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)
Watch me, baby
I'm a carpenter (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)
A carpenter of love (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)
Love and affection (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)
Brick by brick (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)
Tearing them down (Breakin' down the walls of heartache)
Breakin' down the walls of heartache
