Building Walls br br We build these walls for our protection br Then stack them high in all directions br br So ridged do we make these stacks br To save our heart when love attacks br br And when we slip and go stray br A twinkling eye takes bricks away br br At first her softness and her smile br Break down your defenses for a while br br Then comes a date, a good night kiss br A thousand bricks you'll never miss br br Her soul gets in, she steals your heart br She then eats away at her favorite part br br Your life will change, she's in now br You could live without her, but then how br br Now there is no strategic plan br You just dream of holding her hand br br The new program has just begun br Lucky you, you've found the one br br Walls come down with no regret br She is your love, there is no threat br br And just when things were going good br She says things aren't as they should br br A soul is hurt, harsh words are spoke br You feel that love was just a joke br br She's left you now there is no doubt br You should have kept the walls - don't pout br br The walls are up and now your fine br Love's too hard to keep in mind br br So stay behind your sturdy wall br Now no one can blame you if you fall br br Jim 1961br br James Caseybr br
