The Walls Written By Cohen Performed In Night M Lyrics

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
