Four Walls
Jerry Lee Lewis · Other Songs - Jerry Lee Lewis
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
While I sit and whisper your name
[Chorus]
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 hating
So here where you 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.
[Chorus]
Closing in on me.
