Rosanne Cash WESTERN WALL words and music by 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 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 stops 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 © 1996 Chelcait Music(BMI)administered by BUG
