Higher Than The Wall Lyrics - Patty Loveless

There are walls made of paper, an' walls made of stone 

An' some, better made, out of livin' alone 

I built a wall that no-one could break down 

Locked up my heart where it couldn't be found 

You saw past my shackles an' let love unfold 

Showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told 

My heart was a prisoner, like no heart at all 

So your love reached higher than the wall 

[Chorus:] 

Higher than the wall, a thousand feet tall 

High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall 

Yeah, your love reached higher, where it's better an' brighter 

Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall, (wall, wall) 

Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall 

Now I'm wearin' freedom instead of those chains 

Empty reminders don't cause me no pain 

It's all gone away like the leaves in the Fall 

'Cause your love reached higher than the wall 

[Chorus] 

Hey, hey
