Larry Kendrick - Brick Walls Lyrics

Another days upon us another night has gone
But old friends stand waiting trying to make it home
Where the city isn't pretty and shadows hate the light
Brownstones and sidewalks cast a welcome sight
They stand tall like soldiers protecting their domain
From forces called older suffering and pain
They've been here a hundred years mortar brick and stone
Brick walls in the city can never move on
I bet they've died a thousand times from weeping in the night
And they've heard souls nobody knows crying out in fright
But brick walls remain silent waiting is their plight
Another night has found us another day is dead
As dark skies surround us dying to go to bed
Where the city isn't pretty it readies for the night
And spirits rest easy who've given up the fight
The brownstones and sidewalks have done their duty well
It's time for the streetlights to cast an evening spell
They'll be here a hundred years after we are gone
Brick walls in the city can never move on
I bet they've died a thousand times from weeping in the night
And they've heard souls nobody knows crying out in fright
But brick walls remain silent waiting is their plight
Another days upon us another night has gone
But we're stranded waiting trying to make it home
Where the city isn't pretty but ready for the light
Our spirits stand easy we survived another night
La da dah da dah da la da dah da dah
La da dah da dah da la da dah da dah
La da dah da dah da la da dah da dah
