lyrics

COLD LONLEY WALLS
©Billy O'Dwyer Bob 2002

She came down from out of the mountains
Like a snowflake fell from a cloud
And everyone thought her so pretty
And everyone thought her so proud
Then somebody told me her sweetheart
Had met with his maker above
And she, like a star in the night skies
Can't shine without his tender love.

She reads all his old worn love letters
Each night as she lays in bed
Then, placing them under her pillow
When each tender word's carefully read
Then smiling and sleeping and dreaming
Of happier days she recalls
Now she sits in her house on the mountain
And she stares at the cold lonely walls.

Chorus
She's so long in life without loving
You can see by the look in her eyes
She's lost and she's lonely, she's hurting
And it's breaking her up deep inside
And it's so hard for her to keep living
When she cries, it's his name she calls
Now she sits in her house on the mountain
And she stares at the cold lonely walls.

Now some say she's doing much better
And some say she's looking so well
But those who know her will tell you
That sometimes she's going through hell
'Cause life for her ain't all roses
'Cause roses like snowflakes will fall
Now she sits in her house on the mountain
And she stares at the cold lonely walls.

Chorus x 2
