Walls Lyrics

[SolitaryPine]

Forgive me if this answer appears elsewhere on YF. I did many searches but came up with nothing. I could not even find the lyrics to any of Talk or any other Yes album on YF here either. Maybe I'm blind?

I head to search the 'net to find some generic lyric servers, and all of them just list the regular lyrics to Walls, but I have always been curious to find out more - as there are more unprinted lyrics.

So does anyone know what Jon sings after the last chorus that starts at about 3:29? This is my guess at it:

_____ the ________ can it break me down
Let it run to the river, tell me
Oh, _____ the _______ can it break me down
Let it run to the river, let me


The rest of the song we all know:

Don't you know it's my way out
To be on my own.
When I feel like crying out
I do it best alone.
Can you give me love and
Protection to shield my heart.
All the fear I feel from doubt
Is tearing me apart. I wanna love, I wanna give,
I want to find another way to live.
Another shout, another cry,
And the walls come tumbling down.

Don't you know there's no way out;
Your pain's your own,
And the more we scream and shout
The more we feel alone.
I can feel my anger rising-
Am I to blame?
And I'm not gonna keep it inside me.
Do you feel the same?

I wanna love, I wanna give,
I want to find another way to live.
Another shout, another cry,
And the walls come tumbling down.
And I'm calling you.



Thanks!

My translation was always...

"ohhh this indecision can break me down, let it run to the river, let me"

So I guess my blanks were always "this indecision" --- no "the" in between.


Great question!

Yesfans needs a better search engine.

All Yes lyrics are attached in a 'word' doc.

Heya Scott!


Thanks for this document, it's great. Good to have a single source of all the lyrics!!

However, the doc does not contain the lyrics were talking about in this thread. That is the reason why I posted it. These are "undocumented" lyrics, per se.

BTW - I watched the Talk Tour DVD yesterday and again now and it's really really good. Brings me back to that tour when I did not remember everything I saw and heard! Again, thank you for sending that up! I still have to get to Wembley this weekend. Gracias!

Also - of course - thank you to Lifeseeker66 and YesFan14 for your replies on the lyrics here. I think your pretty close there Lifeseeker66 on those words. When I watched the DVD last night I replayed Walls at that part and watched Jon's lips and it certainly sounds like "indecision". It's just on the album where it sounds a bit slurred and not so clear ;-)

Thanks!
