Behind the Wall |
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» |
