the talking walls

jim reeves

when the shades of twilight

close the bay

in my solitude

i steal away

and a sweet familiar voice calls

from the shadows

of the talkin' walls. the talkin' walls bring laughter

tears and pain

a touch of summer's love

and winter's rain

every step we made

my heart recalls

you are there

behind the talkin' walls. as they speak to me

i hear your name

and the spark

is kindled to a flame

such a vivid memory walks in

and i'm reachin'

for the phone again. the talkin' walls bring laughter

tears and pain

a touch of summer's love

and winter's rain

every step we made

my heart recalls

you are there

behind the talkin' walls.
