Walls And Doors Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(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
