Wailing Wall Lyrics

There's a grand old maid
Across the sea
So the story was recalled to me
And from dawn 'til dark you hear her call
Down in front of the Wailing Wall
And she cries all day so sad and alone
'Til someone comes along and leads her home
Nobody listens and nobody seems to care
But everyday you'll find them there and
Kneeling down
For sadness sake
Crying just as though their hearts would break
And from dawn 'til dark you hear them call
Down in front of the Wailing Wall
And they cry all day so sad and alone
'Til someone comes along and leads them home
You know I don't listen and you know that I don't care
But everyday you'll find me there and
Kneeling down
For sadness sake
Crying just as though my heart would break
And from dawn 'til dark you'll hear me call
Down in front of the Wailing Wall

Cover art for Wailing Wall lyrics by Todd Rundgren

Well, its just about the sadness of life. First, its sadness of a lonely woman, then a couple maybe crying about a lost child and then the tough guy who doesn't care abouit any of this but this is just a lie. He is, like everyone else, in the human condition and shares the sadness of life with then all.

@spookytooth Sure would love to hear Todd comment on this song. Often he just reads an article in a magazine or newspaper and then writes a masterpiece like this in short shift.
