Harris Emmylou - Western Wall lyrics

(Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt)

(Rosanne Cash)

I stand here by the western wall

Maybe a little of that wall stands inside of us all

I shove my prayers in the cracks I've got nothing to lose no one to answer back

All these years I've brought up for review

Wasn't taught this but I learned something new

And to answer the distance call at the western wall

I've got a heart full of fear and I offer it on this alter of tears

Red dust settles deep in my skin I don't know where it start and where I begin

It's a crumbling pile of broken stones it ain't much but it might be home

If I ever loved a place at all it's the western wall

I don't know if God was ever a man but if she was I think I understand

Why he found a place to break his fall near the western wall
