She's been a long time on the phone

Courting disaster in an undertone

She's feeling nostalgic

And feeling that fall

How could anyone ever fight it

Who could ever expect to fight it when she

Builds that wall



Maybe it's one where time will tell

Maybe it's one where it's just fare-thee-well

I hear her coming

As she walks down the hall

How could anyone ever fight it

Who could ever expect to fight it when she

Builds that wall



I know the choice is made

I can tell, I said, by your guilty face

And I never was wrong to fight it

How does anyone ever fight it?



You couldn't pin this one on me

You knew my thoughts so far as I could see

Well, I'd say it's hopeless

But you make the call

Cause I never was wrong to fight it

And if given the chance, I guess I'll learn to

Build that wall
