Dexys Midnight Runners - Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache Lyrics

Like a madman who's walking the morning
Headin' for the walls of heartache
Working everyday, I'm bringing home the pay of heartbreak

You are down but the walls are higher
And they're built from the tears I'm cryin'
Oh, I'm going 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
I got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love

Breakin' down the walls of heartache
Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
Breakin' down the walls of heartache
Breakin' down the walls of heartache

Brick by brick, we'll tear 'em down

And the loneliness has made me see that
Chippin' at the walls of heartache
And I'm running, dancing to ya, calling
And I see your heartbreak

And I'm prayin' she is there before me
And I know that there's no tomorrow
And your love is on the side
She's written on the walls of the heartbreak
Oh yeah

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

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

Breakin' down the walls of heartache
Breakin' down the walls of heartache

And the loneliness has made me see that
Chippin' at the walls of heartache
And I'm running, dancing to ya, calling
And I see your heartbreak

And I'm prayin' she is there before me
And I know that there's no tomorrow
And your love is on the side
She's written on the walls of the heartbreak
Oh yeah

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

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