Even The Walls Lyrics

Even The Walls lyrics

Faded by the hands of time
Faint echoes of my childhood dream
The images
of days gone by
Are seldom what they seem

The candlelight spells out
my name
The breeze from below leads the dance of the flame
Suddenly no
one recalls
Yesterday's men have vacated the halls

And they all stay
away from the home of their youth
And they all say they pray but pretend
with the truth
I know I once was like them, old in word and deed
But my
youth survived and revived
The ravages of need

Never has an open
door
Presented me itself to claim
Even though the walls persist
In
singing out my name
Even the walls know my name
The candlelight flickers
the dance of the flame
Suddenly no one recalls
All of my deeds are
adorning the halls

And the way that I've lived
Makes the world that
I've known
And I know what I give I must give on my own
For it seems each
room holds the key
To open other doors
As I make my way through the
house
I'm finding more and more

Folded years before this day
The
dust has found its chance to fall
The note from one of loving
thoughts
Was never read at all

Even the walls know my name
The
candlelight flickers the dance of the flame
Suddenly no one recalls what
they said
Yesteryear's heroes are waking up dead

And I owe my whole
life to the name on the page
And I look to my wife in the midst of my
age
We both have lived with the thought
Of travelling afar
For this
house is old and our home
Will find us where we are
