Wall Around Your Heart

Chorus
        Stone must be the wall built around your heart
        I still love you darlin' but the time has come to part
        No more sorrow, no more pain can enter this heart of mine
        Love isn't long in this old world let the past stay behind

I once had a darlin' sweetheart and I loved her so
I love her more than I'll ever make my poor heart show
And she went away and left me she would find somebody else
Left me here in this old world to cry all to myself

Chorus

I know somewhere in this old world there is a girl for me
A girl who longs for wealth and fame or love and sympathy
I don't know where she lives, maybe across the sea
But the walls of Jericho can't keep her away from me

Chorus
