Walls — текст песни (Gordon Lightfoot)

I`m not ashamed
To say that I`ve loved you well
I`m not ashamed
To let you know
I`m just a name that`s all
Scratched upon your wall
You`ve used it well but what the hell
That`s what walls are for
I`m not ashamed
To listen to the fast-fallin` rain
In the morning upon my window
I`m not afraid to cry
I`m not ashamed to try
To be your friend once again
`Cause that`s what`s friends are for

Friends are for sorting out the hang-ups that we hide
Walls are for shutting out the love we feel inside

I`m not ashamed no to talk it over once again
To rearrange my vocabulary
But I can`t seem to find
Any words to change your mind
Because I left them all behind
And that`s what words are for

Words are for explaining the mistakes we might have made
Names are for calling when there`s nothing left to say

I`m not ashamed, no, to say that I`ve loved you well
I`m not ashamed, and yet I know
I`m just a name, that`s all
Scratched upon your wall
You`ve used it well, but what the hell
That`s what walls are for

I`m not ashamed of wearing out my old grey socks
Chasing you around the back woods
I`m not ashamed to darn
Nor to proud to find some yarn
To sew them up once again
`Cause that`s what socks are for
