The Eastern Wall
03:38
|

|
i was standing by the eastern wall
i was waiting for an ambulance
i wasn’t waiting for a brick to fall
i needed someone to fix my broken heart
i was standing by the eastern wall
i saw soldiers pointing guns
i didn’t need a bulletproof vest
i needed someone to fix my broken heart
there’s a wall up between me and you
there’s a wall up between me and you
there’s a wall up between me and you
there’s a wall up between me and you
i didn’t need a dynamite blast
i didn’t need the jackhammer men
i didn’t need a hundred thousand tons
of nitroglycerin
i didn’t need someone to break down the wall
i needed someone to fix my broken heart

look at the man he sits by the campfire
look at the man over there with the bleary eyes
look at the man he’s singing the kum ba yah
look at the man i knew i couldn’t be that guy
and i saw places i once called home
and i saw places i once could call my own
and i remembered what it was like to be in those places
i remembered what it felt like to see those faces
and i saw places i once called home
and i saw places i once called home
look at the man he sits by the campfire
look at the man he’s singing the kum ba yah
look at the man the smoke’s stinging his eyes
look at the man i know i couldn’t be that guy
and i saw places i once called home
and i saw places i once called home

The Old College Try

it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that i could do
it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that i should try
it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that i could handle
it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that i should try
but i gave it the old college try
i gave it the old college try...
it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that i could do
it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that i should try
it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that i could handle
i didn’t think there was a chance in hell that i’d get by
but i gave it a try
i gave it the old college try
i gave it the old college try...
and now i’m an inspiration to all mankind

Meadowsong

i came to the meadow
and i saw a vanishing airplane
i knew i would never be the same
i knew i would never be the same
i came to the meadow
saw a creature rise above the water
so i looked up and what did i see
the creature was some sick sad corrupt perversion of me
i came to the meadow
and i sank deep into the mud
i forgot about my fears
forgot about flesh and blood
i came to the meadow
one more lost flight i could not afford
so i took my place among the reeds
and i opened my heart up to the lord

Troy Meadows New Jersey
Hi all,
I’ve been recording as “Troy Meadows” for something like fifteen years. My
music has received airplay from radio stations like WMBR, WITR, WMFO, WNTE, KAOS, WTUL, KZSU, WUOG, XPN, WMPG, WTSR, and KALX.
I am a PROUD HOME RECORDER.
My latest release, A Faith Observed, is an album about wrestling with God. It's my clumsy masterpiece. As you will hear, every note is sincere.
-D. Klein
