jules shear - windows and walls lyrics

[verse 1: jules shear]
you can’t keep a love in with windows and walls
even twelve rooms connected by marble floored halls
can’t keep a love in being scared it will cease
you can’t see the big picture while you’re staring at the crease
play it in any language, it’s an old loser’s game
wisdom comes in all different ways
but this ignorance is all the same
one wants to go, one tries to stall
you can’t keep a love in with windows and walls

[chorus: jules shear & patty griffin]
in the hour of the dead you walk the floor
where the battle will be fought
you may not learn the lesson but the lesson will be taught
the silence will not comfort you
when you speak the words will tell
the breaking of a spell

[verse 2: patty griffin]
you can’t keep a love in with windows and walls
build the beams higher, nothing is solved
there’s locks on the window where the cats always curl
through those locks you can’t stop a wild and raging world

[chorus: jules shear & patty griffin, jules, patty]
in the hour of the dead you walk the floor
where the battle will be fought
you may not learn the lesson but the lesson will be taught
the silence will not comfort you
when you speak (when you speak) the words will tell
the breaking of a spell

[verse 3: jules shear]
you used to want everything, now you want peace
if it can’t be with him, then within you at least
when love learns to run before it can crawl
you can’t keep a love in with windows and walls
