Behind The Wall

Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do me no good to call
The police - always come late
If they come at all
Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call
The police - always come late
If they come at all
And when they arrive
They say they can't interfere
With domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walk out the door
The tears well up in her eyes
Last night I heard the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul
I prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road
And the policeman said
"I'm here to keep the peace
Will the crowd disperse
I think we all could use some sleep"
Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do me no good to call
The police - always come late
If they come at all
