You call me Without a sound What you ask Can't reach my mind This wall 'round Kills every word Inward bound No sound to be heard Why can't I hear your voice All the words pass me by Your thoughts keep crushing me I cry, I cry Why am I deaf to your voice Can't hear your singing at all Keeps us parted oh this aching Wall, this wall Why don't you wait Why don't you cry Why don't you ask me When you're off to fly This wall is due To empty the heart But a song breaks through And calls from afar The tree of your life is a branch of my own But your soul has left me long before Your tears burn but they don't hurt No more, no more Hand in hand yet torn apart The song has gone, mere echoes to fall We are eternally left on our own By the wall, the wall
