Artist/Band: Jim Reeves
Lyrics for Song: Seven Days
Lyrics for Album: Talkin' to Your Heart/Touch of Velvet [BMG Interna [2004]



(Clarence R. Selman - Jim Reeves)



(Sang)

Seven days can be a long,

Long time my friend

When you dream about the cold black chair

With straps for both your hands.



If you wonder what it's like

To know your life will soon be gone

Your thoughts are mostly 'bout the things

You wish you'd never done.



(Spoken)

Your face is there in the darkest night

So clear upon my wall

Yet soon I know I'm to face

The darkest night of all.



For on my head they'll place

The thing that brings eternal peace

Then death will be the way

To make this ache inside me cease.



A stolen kiss, a warm embrace

A secret rendezvous

They didn't seem so wrong

That night when first I met you.



Then there he was, insane with rage

To see you held so tight

I didn't mean to kill him

When we had that awful fight.



Seven days I've sat here

Thinking 'bout our sin

Seven days to realize

The trouble that I'm in.



Seven days to weigh the price

The man will make me pay

Seven days to think 'bout

The night you ran away.



Then you were gone and he lay dead

A smile upon his lips

He knew this was the last time

You'd give him the slip.



Knew too, the price for stolen love

Was just too much to pay

Perhaps I too can smile like him

When my life ebbs away.



He's coming out to lead me on

To that little cell-like room

I fancy your face is smiling

As we walk through the gloom.



Perhaps you've found another

Who wants a rendezvous

But I'll, I'll bet he can't imagine

The price of loving you.



Seven days I've sat here

Thinking 'bout our sin

Seven days to realize

The trouble I'm in.



Seven days to weigh the price

The man will make me pay

Seven days to think about

The night you ran away...
