Текст песни Cohen, Leonard - The Walls

(Michael)         It's late, it's very late
How did it get so late?

(Judy)            What was it we were thinking of?

(Michael & Judy)  We didn't want this,
did we?

(Judy)            There must be some mistake

(Michael)         What was it I forgot to tell you?

(Judy)            What was it I forgot?

There was a promise here
A child who knew me
A bitter bedtime story

(Michael & Judy)  Another house of some forgotten family
It's very late
There must be some mistake
And now this place
for none

(Michael)         There was a woman here
A woman who knew me
A table set before me

(Michael & Judy)  It is the walls
it is the victory of the walls
It is the room
it is the distance of the room

(Michael)         Without her...

(Judy)            Without you.
