I stand here by the Western Wall,
Baby, look at that wall, standin' silent an' tall
An' I shove my prayers in the cracks
Got nothin' to lose, no-one to answer back
All these years I've brought up for review,
Wasn't taught this but I learned somethin' new
Had to answer a distant call,
At the Western Wall

An' I've got a heart full of fear,
An' I offer it up on this altar of tears
Red dust settles deep in my skin
Don't know where it starts or where I begin
It's a crumblin' 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

Instrumental break

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
