BEHIND A WALL

There are times I think back to the day
When the all the chances were in everything we played
Things we saw and did and times we got it right
Driving by that wall on a cold winter night

We had some good times out there on the road
Before the stage was bare the lights had grown cold
No five star fancy hotels getting up at noon
Parties after show time that came and went too soon
It hardly seemed like much guess that wasn't right
Smiling front row girls who held the torch each night
That ghostly hour tearing down the band
Empty bars, jazz clubs and one night stands
Well it makes me think of you to think of what I missed
I've found a quiet comfort and I found it just in this

Oh, oh that distant call
Coming from a city behind a wall
Oh, oh you found it too
On another road we had nothing to loose

Sometimes at night I hear it going on
Another story in that same old song
Well I'll tell you what I think every time they hurry past
Something we both know ain't ever going to last
It's really got to be the strangest thing to do
Drifting to an old place, discover something new
It won't be long now you're leaving me behind
All those things you said still play within my mind
On a weekend tour in the neighbourhood
Or a backstage room with a song that felt so good

Oh, oh that distant call
Coming from a city behind a wall
Oh, oh you found it too
On another road we had nothing to loose
