Crime & the City Solution - The Wailing Wall lyrics

Part her down the middle A waiting girl Behind a wailing wall Oh hum a waiting girl She separates the lovers Hands and hearts Separates the loving Waiting hearts and hands Two upon her left hand Two upon her right Says let's get it right get it straight And he, he will protect her And she, will she reject her? And three, three will be bound together She lost a trusted mentor Beloved girl hold up a broken centre Who let a booted army enter Tread the tender flesh and tender Hope in the payment and faith in the lender Three place cloth over her eyes And four bolds her down And five loosens the ties Six takes pictures of her body as it lies And she lies She lies behing the wailing wall Poison comes in words across the sea Word from home, leave you alone Just more baggage for you Take off her red shoes and show her to me Take off her blue skirt and show her to me She led the way, made her own way The balance restored, the payment received The rain their course right through her Rain in all directions, home in all directions Oh and she thanks no one And no one thanks her He was was not her keeper And she, sche could not reach her She builts a wall that wailed She builts a tall wall that failed
