The many walls of the city
the buildings, the houses,
want to tell the secrets
of what is behind..
What was behind them,
and if only they could talk
I would sit and listen
all day, if I could.
I want to learn of the
lovers' affair I heard
about down on 4th street.
I wrote a song of this.
and need to know if
the ending is the same.
Unkept promises,
lovers' lies, hidden truth,
behind the walls.
They all speak the same
if only we could hear
and learn of the mistakes.
But then the excitement,
the challenge would fade
away.
Shh....... listen...
you hear it?
The silent secrets of the
wind.
Blowing softly against
the walls......telling all
they see,
creeping inside,
under the door...even
through the key hole.
Shh.....sit here with me
just for a while.......
listen to the wind,
comfort me,
while the story is told
of the lovers that night
down on 4th street.
