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...
