Our room was filled with silence I guess we'd said it all I don't know when I'd seen our bedroom So long I can't recall We'd built this thing between us I'm not sure what's the cause So I swallowed all my pride And tonight I climbed the wall Tonight I climbed the wall And took her by the hand We'd come too far to fall Couldn't stand to see it end So tonight I climbed the wall Makin' love is so much sweeter When you love the one you hold After all these years of holdin' her You'd think by now I'd know Now as we lie here together All our troubles seem so small Just these satin sheets between us Cause tonight I climbed the wall Tonight I climbed the wall And took her by the hand We'd come too far to fall Couldn't stand to see it end So tonight I climbed the wall Tonight I climbed the wall Tonight I climbed the wall
