Lyrics

Be gentle
Be gentle, gentle with me
I feel fragile this year
Be gentle, gentle with me, me
And the walls, the walls
I counted ten thousand walls around my heart
Now can you see my walls, my walls?
Some are made of cardboard
Some are made of clay
Some are made of memories of that sad, sad day
Oh, I know every single one of my walls, my walls, oh
I walk amongst them, in between them
Shout from on top of them
I walk amongst them, in between them
Shout from on top of my, oh, I, oh, oh, oh, I
Some are hollow bones like graveyard stones
Like fossils in the sea
Well, some are painted red for misting me
Well, oh, me
Well, I wanna has a flower growin' sideways out of gray
And one day that plant may grow
That wall will crumble, crumble, crumble, crumble
They appear and disappear
There's one that knows when you're not here
It's when I miss you that I see right through that wall
Oh, I, oh, oh, but when you're with me
All I can see is brick and mortar and mud
Oh, why do you, do you do this to me?
Do you, do you, do you, do you do?
Can a wall have roots or branches like a tree?
Well, I don't know how this goes
You better help me, help me, help me, please
Please, please
