Black Sheep Wall - The Innocence Mission

This is how I love you:

I wish for a shade I can pull

I feel so afraid of watching you grow up This love hurts to much

And I try and build a wall

So I don’t have to see you fall

And I pray

Go away from my thoughts!

Why do you keep coming back

Over Black Sheep Wall?

Oh, I’d love to hold you close

But I play it cool

And keep my thoughts in a jar

Marked «dangerous»

And everyone says, «Never fear —

All boys his age experiment with their lives»

But my eyes want to close you out

I’ll close you out

Why do you keep coming back

Over Black Sheep Wall?

Brother Black Sheep, love is strong

There’s a shepherd out in every storm

And he’s not afraid of a little rain

Why am I?

Why do I keep building up This Black Sheep Wall?

Oh, I love you so!

Do you really know how much

How deep?

Black Sheep

This is how I love you:

With closed eyes

With turned back

With distance
