Grey Walls Lyrics - Singles - Richard Thompson

I took my darling down 

I took my darling down 

To that big grey house down the lane 

And then the doctor said 

He said it's in her head 

She's never going to be right again 

I kissed my love goodbye 

She didn't blink an eye 

They took her down the hall 

She never looked back at all 

CHORUS 

Behind grey walls 

Somewhere there's a soul 

Behind grey walls 

She's out of control 

Crying out for help 

No one can hear 

O Lord have pity on her 

O Lord have pity on her 

My darling walks the floor 

My darling walks the floor 

She walks every minute that she can 

I heard my darling say 

I heard my darling say 

She don't know who I am 

Cigarette burns down her arm 

Said she tried to do herself harm 

Tied her arms in the back 

Trussed her up like a sack 

CHORUS 

I saw my darling's face 

I saw my darling's face 

It looked so pale in the distance 

She stared out from her room 

Into the dying gloom 

And I saw her poor tears glisten 

Pills to keep her calm 

More punctures than a junkie in her arm 

Tied her down on the bed 

Seventy volts through her head 

CHORUS
