lyrics

"My Friend, the Guarded Wall"

Music and Lyrics by Danny Surico

Arranged by The Future Laureates



And so, he got a raw deal.

He had the car, the life, the wife. Oh, what a steal.

Besieged by ghosts who mostly revealed

The years of buried wounds that never healed.

I know what’s done is done,

And he’s probably sipping cocktails in the sun.

Can’t sh-shake off the memories he’s running from

By only looking out for number one, number one.



My friend, the guarded wall:

Won’t you tear yourself down?

‘Cause the man you are can still be found.



He believes that love means pain,

So he’s built a tower high above the fray.

And from time to time he whispers out the names

Of all the former friends he’s pushed away.



My friend, the guarded wall:

Won’t you tear yourself down?

‘Cause the man you are can still be found.



Who knows if we’ll see him again?

He’s haunted by the voices in his head

And burdened by the hurt he’s been carryin’.

I wish that I could reach you, my friend.
