Lyrics Patty Loveless

Patty Loveless

Higher Than the Wall

There are walls made of paper, an' walls made of stone

An' some, better made, out of livin' alone

I built a wall that no-one could break down

Locked up my heart where it couldn't be found

You saw past my shackles an' let love unfold

Showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told

My heart was a prisoner, like no heart at all

So your love reached higher than the wall

Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall

High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall

Yeah, your love reached higher, where it's better an' brighter

Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall. (Wall, wall.)

Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall

Now I'm wearin' freedom instead of those chains

Empty reminders don't cause me no pain

It's all gone away like the leaves in the Fall

'Cause your love reached higher than the wall

Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall

High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall

Yeah, your love reached higher, where it's better an' brighter

Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall. (Wall, wall.)

Your love reached higher than the wall

Hey, hey
