Four Walls

B.J. Thomas · B. J. Thomas Country [1972]

Out where the bright lights are glowing

You're drawn like a moth to a flame

You laugh while the wines overflowing

While I sit and whisper your name.



Four walls around me

Four walls to see

Four walls too near me

Closing in on me.



One night with you is like Heaven

And while I'm walking the floor

I listen for steps in the hallway

And wait for your knock on my door.



Four walls around me

Four walls to see

Ohhh, ohhh, four walls too near me

Closing in on me.



Four walls too near me

Closing in on me.



(Spoken)

Just these four lonely walls

And one lonely room

Is where I stand

And wait for a knock on my door

That will never come...
