Wailing Wall
Lament at the Wailing Wall: A Tale of Unheard Sorrows
Lyrics
There's a grand old maid
Reference to an elderly woman
Across the sea
Located overseas
So the story was recalled to me
Narration of a recounted story
And from dawn 'til dark you hear her call
Constant calling from dawn to dark
Down in front of the Wailing Wall
Location near the Wailing Wall
And she cries all day so sad and alone
Lonely and sorrowful cries all day
'Til someone comes along and leads her home
Hopeful for someone to guide her home
Nobody listens and nobody seems to care
Ignored and uncared for by others
But everyday you'll find them there and
Despite neglect, people gather there daily
Kneeling down
Kneeling in front of the Wailing Wall
For sadness sake
Expressing sorrow for the sake of sadness
Crying just as though their hearts would break
Crying as if their hearts are breaking
And from dawn 'til dark you hear them call
Continuous calling from dawn to dark
Down in front of the Wailing Wall
Location remains in front of the Wailing Wall
And they cry all day so sad and alone
Collective cries of sadness throughout the day
'Til someone comes along and leads them home
Hoping for someone to lead them home
You know I don't listen and you know that I don't care
Speaker acknowledges their indifference
But everyday you'll find me there and
Despite indifference, the speaker is present daily
Kneeling down
Kneeling down in front of the Wailing Wall
For sadness sake
Expressing sorrow for personal reasons
Crying just as though my heart would break
Crying as if the speaker's heart would break
And from dawn 'til dark you'll hear me call
Continuous calling from dawn to dark by the speaker
Down in front of the Wailing Wall
Location remains in front of the Wailing Wall for the speaker
