Barbara Dickson - Behind the Wall lyrics

Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do me no good to call The police - always come late If they come at all Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police - always come late If they come at all And when they arrive They say they can't interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes Last night I heard the screaming Then a silence that chilled my soul I prayed that I was dreaming When I saw the ambulance in the road And the policeman said "I'm here to keep the peace Will the crowd disperse I think we all could use some sleep" Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do me no good to call The police - always come late If they come at all
