Gene Clark Wall Around Your Heart Lyrics

I once had a darling sweetheart and I loved her so
Loved her more than I could ever let my poor heart show
She went away and left me, she found somebody else
Left me here in this old world to cry all to myself

Stone must be the wall built around your heart
I still love you darling, but the time has come to part
No more sorrow, no more pain can enter this heart of mine
Life isn't long in this old world, let the past stay behind

I know somewhere in this old world there is a girl for me A girl who longs for wealth and fame, for love and sympathy
I don't know where she lives, maybe across the sea
But the walls of Jerico can't keep her away from me

Stone must be the wall built around your heart
I still love you darling, but the time has come to part
No more sorrow, no more pain can enter this heart of mine
Life isn't long in this old world, let the past stay behind
Life isn't long in this old world, let the past stay behind
