Lyrics

Be gentle
Be gentle, gentle with me
I feel fragile this year
Be gentle, gentle with me
And the walls
The walls
I counted ten thousand walls around my heart
Can't you see 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
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…
Some hold bones
Like graveyard stones
Like fossils in the sea
Some are painted red
For mystic me
One has a flower growing sideways
Out of a crack
And one day that plant may grow
That wall will 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
But when you’re with me
All I can see is
Brick and mortar and mud
Why do you, do you
Do this to me, do you, do you
Do you, do you do?
Can walls have roots
Or branches like a tree
I don’t know how deep this goes
You got to help me, help me, help me
Please, please, please
