THE FAR SIDE OF THE WALL
We’ve done some things
Terrible but true
Across the blazing years
Letters of fire
Politicians smile
They shake hands for the camera
But some things never change
No wonder that I’m angry at
The voices that I hear
In every sigh and call
Thinking of you holding him
On the far side of the wall
I wish I could reach out
Save you from each and every fall
That I know you’re going through
On the far side of the wall
Remember August days
An ecstasy of blue
Floating through that seaside town
Bodies burning, me and you
Fast forward to the streets
Orange shades of paranoia
We’d go our separate ways
Couldn’t even admit to knowin’ you
Think of me now
And say a silent prayer
When other hands are touching you
Remember, I still care
And in that bleary dawn
A tiny spark of blue
So hold on my darling
Tonight I’m going to break on through
The voices that I hear
In every sigh and call
Thinking of you holding him
On the far side of the wall
I wish I could reach out
Save you from each and every fall
That I know you’re going through
On the far side of the wall
