Lonnie Johnson - Four Walls And Me (1960) lyrics

rate me

It’s five o’clock in the mornin’, just these four walls and me.

Mmm, it’s five o’clock in the mornin’, just these four walls and me.

I have waited and cried so long, my eyes ‘s so swollen I cannot see.

I have watched these four walls so long, the pictures seem to fade away.

Mmm, I have watched these four walls so long, the pictures seem to fade away.

It hurts to be hurt by the one you love, see yourself slowly dye day by day.

If I could take my poor heart and wash it, wash all these aches and pains away.

I could take my poor heart out and wash it, wash all these aches and pains away.

But I just can’t keep from tryin’, hopin’ she’ll come back to me someday.

When I set down to eat, there’s a empty chair just across from me.

When I set down to eat, there’s a empty chair just across from me.

My poor heart cries out in pains, that’s where my baby used to be.

Mmm, hmm, hmm, mmm, that’s where she used to be.
