Story behind the song
What it must feel like to be trapped by love -- or the absence of love.
Lyrics
AMONTILLADO WALLS I didn’t know that she was leaving; I didn’t know till she was gone. I didn’t know that I’d be grieving. How could I have been so wrong? They say, “Easy come and easy go,” Like love must be a dollar bill. Well, I don’t buy their talk for show. Never have, and never will. I guess she never got my letter, My text, my email, or my calls. She’s acting like I never met her, Like Amontillado walls. These iron chains are cold and rusting; The flambeau’s flame is almost out. I don’t know why I was so trusting. It’s all over but the shout. I’m hanging on to one last shadow, But I know there’s no relief. I’m no Count of Monte Cristo, And this is no Chateau d’If. No one is listening – no one hears, As my last lonesome moan falls Upon the cold and stone deaf ears Of these Amontillado walls. Copyright © 2014 Lex Zaleta
