(Jim McBride - Jerry Salley)

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 and give her a call.

Across town he's in a hotel room
He can't keep his eyes off the phone
He's thinking that soon she will break down and call
To tell him she's sorry and 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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 world 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...
This song is from the album "Only What I Feel".
