Rosanne Cash - Western Wall lyrics

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 got nothing to lose

No one to answer back

All these years I've brought up for review

I wasn't taught this but I learned something new

I had to answer a distant call

At the Western Wall

I've got a heart full of fear

And I offer it up on this altar of tears

Red dust settles deep in my skin

I don't know where it starts

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
