Dr Hook The Medicine Show Walls And Doors Lyrics

Walls And Doors Lyrics

(Ray Sawyer/Gary Doon)







It's cold in this jail cell that I live in



The silence makes me think about me and you



I guess I tried too hard to make things better



Now the paying is the hardest thing I do







It hurt to see you cry cause I love you



I never got that job the way we planned



Now the baby's crying haunts me like a sad dream



Ain't it funny how our lives get out of hand







Now I can't go home anymore



The memory of you and me is all I'm living for



I know now it was better living free and being poor



Than just sitting here with all my tears behind these walls and doors







Each week I wait everyday for Sunday



The one day that they let me close to you



I wonder as the sun comes up each Monday



Why I haven't seen you in a week or two







Now I can't go home anymore



The memory of you and me is all I'm living for



I know now it was better living free and being poor



Than just sitting here with all my tears behind these walls and doors







And I can't go home anymore
