Bob Seger System White Wall Lyrics

White Wall Lyrics

Springtime of new years, the young thoughts see more dreams

while you live
on the wind, how lovely it all seems

With moments yet unshared, and wishes
incomplete

The stars above your head, the world beneath your feet



Suddenly your nights, begin to seem so long

There's no one
there to touch, when things start going wrong

You finally realise, you've
never loved at all

and everywhere you look, you see the white wall



Your father's been too far, your mother's been too near

And now
you're on your own, withdrawing in your fear

Through long and sleepless
nights, the foxes are running free

You long to be with them, when the
scare meets the sea



You climb and then you fall, and then you try
again

You curse yourself aloud, for living so weird

and took it to
the ground, your eyes are filled with tears

Imprisoned there you lay, in
the autumn of your years
