Build That Wall Lyrics

She's been a long time on the phone
Courting disaster in an undertone
She's feeling nostalgic
and feeling that fall
How could anyone ever fight it
Who could ever expect to fight it when she
Builds that Wall


Maybe it's one where time will tell
Maybe it's one where it's just fare-thee-well
I hear her coming
As she walks down the hall
How could anyone ever fight it
Who could ever expect to fight it when she
Builds that Wall

Bridge:
I know the choice is made
I can tell, I said
By your guilty face
And I never was one to fight it
How does anyone ever fight it


You couldn't pin this one on me
You knew my thoughts so far as I could see
Well, I'd say it's hopeless
But you make the call
'Cause I never was one to fight it
And if given the chance I guess I'll learn to
Build that wall

Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh Build that Wall
Ahhhhhh Build that Wall
Ahhhhhh Build that Wall
Ahhhhhh Build that Wall
Ahhhhhh Oooooooooo Build that Wall
Ahhhhhh Build That Wall

Someone you love just builds a wall around themselves so you can't talk any more. In this case she is reacting to a warning: "Don't ring that guy, it's only going to hurt you" but once she's made the call there is nothing you can do...or so it seems. (I am new to this: give me a chance!)
