Well-behaved groundcover(s) that will drape over stone walls?

I have a couple of tiers of rock retaining wall that need softening. Are there any groundcover plants that would drape over the edge? Maybe the vine forum is really where I should be heading. Forgive me, I'm new at this! The site varies between partial shade and deep shade. I'd also love plants that would grow in the crevices between the stones - but maybe that's a question for the rock garden forum! Argh. Anyway, I first thought "groundcover" because it probably needs to be something shallow-rooted - the retaining walls look like they're dry-stacked but actually have cinder-block reinforcement behind them, with just about 3" of soil on top of the cinderblocks. So something that creeps nicely up to the edge of the wall, and perhaps over it, is probably a good place to start.

Thanks for your patience with my incoherence.
