Lyrics
Walls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
Then they fade away
And if I never do nothin'
I'll get you back some day
'Cause
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
And all around your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the danger
It holds in the pain
And sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky
But
Yes, they do
Oh!
And some things are over
Some things go on
And part of me you carry
Part of me is gone
But
Baby
Yeah, I guess they do
Yes, they do
They fall down
