Faron Young – Hello Walls Lyrics
(Hello, hello)
Hello walls (hello, hello), how’d things go for you today?
Don’t you miss her since she upped and walked away?
And I’ll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me
But lonely walls, I’ll keep you company

Hello window (hello hello), well I see that you’re still here
Aren’t you lonely since our darling disappeared?
Well, look here, is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane?
Now don’t you try to tell me that it’s rain

She went away and left us all alone, the way she planned
Yes, we’ll have to learn to get along without her if we can

Hello ceiling (hello hello), I’m gonna stare at you awhile
You know I can’t sleep, so won’t you bear with me awhile?
We must all stick together or else I’ll lose my mind
I’ve got a feeling she’ll be gone a long, long time
(hello, hello)…
