These Old Walls (Barry Finn)
These old wall have held me, I've been here since 83
Day by day is the way I do my time
Oh the weeks turn to yrs, a ship could float on all my tears
I'm haunted by a good kid that I once knew
Chorus:
I can't go back & make a change
Every day I cry & age
I wish to God the hands of time would end my pain
Every day when I awake, I can't believe I'm in this place
I see myself & look & say what have you done
I thought I was cool, I didn;t know I played the fool
But there you go I'd never ilstened to anyone
Chorus:
I swear I hear these old walls weep when I lay me down to sleep
I know at times I must be out of my mind
I may not make it out alive, I may be here untill I die
There's not a one who'll dig my grave long, wide & deep
Chorus:
So now there you go my friend, so good of you to come again
It's not often in my day when it's not dim
I really thank you for your time & be glad your times not mine
And thank the stars that they can shine down on you.
Chorus:
Sorry, I don't know how to put up the music
Barry
