If These Walls Could Speak Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

If these old walls, if these old walls could speak 

Of things that they remember well 

Stories and faces dearly held 

A couple in love livin' week to week 

Rooms full of laughter 

If these walls could speak 

If these old halls, hallowed halls could talk 

These would have a tale to tell 

Of sun goin' down and dinner bell 

And children playing at hide and seek from floor to rafter 

If these halls could speak 

They would tell you that I'm sorry 

For bein' cold and blind and weak 

They would tell you that it's only 

That I have a stubborn streak 

If these walls could speak 

If these old fashioned window panes were eyes 

I guess they would have seen it all 

Each little tear and sigh and footfall 

And every dream that we came to seek or followed after 

If these walls could speak 

They would tell you that I owe you 

More than I could ever pay 

Here's someone who really loves you 

Don't ever go away 

That's what these walls would say 

They would tell you that I owe you 

More than I could ever pay 

Here's someone who really loves you 

Don't ever go away 

That's what these walls would say 

That's what these walls would say 

That's what these walls would say
