The Wall

1:32

I promise you,

We’ll build your wall.

Stone by stone,

With bleeding hands,

We’ll build your wall.

1:55

Let us build it tall!

Yeah.

And no regret.

I promise you.

3:01

If not for me,

If not for you,

Would not be built today.

If not for you,

Would I be this way?

3:20

Let’s divide it all!

Yeah.

With no regret.

I promise you.

3:42

Believe me, You,

We built it your way.

It’s just the truth,

We built it to stay.

4:03

Time will tell.

Or, are you tying to forget?

Who built your wall?

4:24

Another’s will,

Some Other’s way,

We build our walls.

With watchful words,

With reckless hearts,

We build our walls.

4:45

To tall to climb,

To thick to bend,

To rich to burn,

Cannot find the end.

5:07

I promise you.

5:27

So, I built your wall,

On it painted,

Made my mark,

And I waited.

5:50

For the shape-shift form of you.

6:00

Our shadows against your wall,

We are naked.

Or, are you trying to forget?

7:36

Another’s will,

Some Other’s way,

We build our walls.

With whetted words,

With shattered hearts,

We build our walls.

7:46

To weak to climb.

To weak to bend.

To weak to burn.

Here we end.

8:00

I promise you.

9:22

Leave me naked.

9:28

Leave me waiting.

10:00

Against your wall.

I just saw “The Wall” in Madison Square Garden last night. I was googling the reviews and this blog popped up. How Cool! I like your style and it is uniquely written. Anyways, The show was GREAT!
Roger Waters is a genius.
