Johnny Johnson & The Bandwagon - Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache Lyrics

Like a madman, I'm up in the morning
Headin' for the walls of heartache
Working everyday, bringing home the pay of heartbreak
You are gone and the walls get higher
They are built from the tears of cryin'
Oh, I got to bring you back
I'm workin' 'til the day I'm dyin', oh yeah
Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
I'm a carpenter of love and affection
Breaking down the walls of heartache, baby
Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love, yeah

Breakin' down the walls of heartache (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Takin' down the walls of heartache, baby
Takin' down the walls of heartache
Shakin' down the walls of heartache

Brick by brick, I'm tearin' it down, yeah
Through the lonely night, my neighbors hear me
Chip-chippin' at the walls of heartache
Callin' out your name
Echoing the pain of heartbreak
And your face is there before me
Writing words of no tomorrow
Your letter of goodbye
Is written on the walls of sorrow
Oh, yeah

Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
I'm a carpenter of love and affection
Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love, yeah

Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
Shakin' down the walls of heartache
Shakin' down the walls of heartache

Tearin' them down
Tearin' them down
Watch me, baby
I'm a carpenter
A carpenter of love
Love and affection
Brick by brick, tearing them down
