Testo: Patty Loveless. Love Builds The Bridges (Pride Builds The Walls).

She's twistin' the ring on her finger
She's watchin' the clock on the wall
She's hopin' when it finally hits him, he's wrong
He'll come to his senses an' give her a call

Across town, he's in a hotel room
He can't keep his eyes off the phone
He's thinkin' that soon she will break down and call
To tell him she's sorry an' beg him back home

There's a lonesome fool waiting
On each end of the line
There's a measure of blame
On both sides

Until each heart is willing
There's no hope at all
'Cause love builds the bridges
But pride builds the walls

The longer they wait on each other
The harder it gets to give in
They're too proud to see
They're just one call away
From putting their love back together again

There's a lonesome fool waiting
On each end of the line
There's a measure of blame
On both sides

Until each heart is willing
There's no hope at all
'Cause love builds the bridges
But pride builds the walls

Until each heart is willing
There's no hope at all
'Cause love builds the bridges
But pride builds the walls
