Walls

[Verse 1]
He comes in each evening where the music is loud
And keeps to himself in a blue collared crowd
He once had a future, he had it all
Built his world 'round a woman but now he builds walls

[Verse 2]
They say he was married to a Birmingham dream
He built her a mansion fit for a queen
But she upped and left him for some fool from St. Paul
She tore down his mansion and left him with walls

[Chorus]
Ever since she's been gone
He's been stacking stones 'round his heart
And he won't tear them down while her memory's still around
So, he just sits there alone in the dark

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Ever since she's been gone
He's been stacking stones 'round his heart
And he won't tear them down while her memory's still around
So, he just sits there alone in the dark

[Verse 1]
He comes in each evening where the music is loud
And keeps to himself in a blue collared crowd
He once had a future, oh, he had it all
Built his world 'round a woman but now he builds walls
