OVER THE WALL
I thought I knew your name an' number,
I thought you were only over the wall,
But I've been lookin' over an' under,
An' I can't find you at all.
Maybe you're there, but I can't see you,
Maybe I looked when you weren't there,
But, oh, how I long to hear you say you really care,
Just to know you're there.
I thought you were the kind of neighbour
Who would lend me a helpin' hand.
I thought you were the kind of saviour
Who would always take a stand.
Maybe you're there...
They tell me you are like a mother
Who'll pick me up whenever I fall.
They say you are like a lover
Waitin' down by the garden wall.
Maybe you're there...
Can you see me, are you watchin'?.
Do you hear me when I call?
Are our fingers nearly touchin'
If I reach for you over the wall?
Maybe you're there...
