If These Old Walls Could Talk Lyrics

If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
She�d left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
And, no, they ain�t said a word
Stood silent through it all
I�d be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk
This old house of ours
It�s made of stone but it�s built on sand
And these four walls they are my best friends
They�re keeping� all my past locked deep inside
No one will ever know
All those things I did so long ago
I�ve been running� trying� to hide from yesterday
But there�s just no need
I know my secret�s safe

If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
She�d left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
And, no, they ain�t said a word
Stood silent through it all
I�d be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk
They�ve stood every storm
Those long cold winter nights they kept us warm
Holding back the rain
Not even the winds have changed could blow them down
Yeah we�re on solid ground

If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
She�d left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
And, no, they ain�t said a word
Stood silent through it all
I�d be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk
They�ve stood the test of time
Never let me down
I�ve put it all behind me
They remind me
I�m on shaky ground
They won�t let me forget

If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
She�d left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
And, no, they ain�t said a word
Stood silent through it all
I�d be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk

Yeah, I�d be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk
I�d be a sad man
She�d left me long ago
If she only knew all those things I did back then
