Four Walls

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]

(Four walls too hear me)

(Closing in on me.)



Out where the bright lights are glowing

You're drawn like a moth to a flame

You laugh while the wine's over-flowing

While I sit and whisper your name.



Four walls to hear me

Four walls to see

Four walls too near me

Closing in on me.



Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting

But my walls have nothing to say

I'm made for love, not for singing

So here's where you've left me, I'll stay.



One night with you is like heaven

And so, while I'm walking the floor

I listen for steps in the hallway

And wait for your knock on my door.



Four walls to hear me

Four walls to see

Four walls too near me

Closing in on me...
