Lyrics
If these walls could talk what would they say to me?
Would they speak to me in riddles or would they speak to me in poems?
If these walls could talk what would they say to me?
Would they speak of hollow mansions or would they speak of a true home?
What would they say to me if you would let them speak?
What would they say if you'd let go?
If these walls could talk what would they say to me?
Or would they be too weary to speak with me at all?
If these walls could talk what would they say to me?
Would they speak of terrible secrets or would they speak of saving grace?
If these walls could talk what would they say to you?
Would they speak in tongues of angels or cry out violently from hell?
If these walls could talk what would they say to you?
Would they leave you wishing that you never heard all they can tell?
What would they say to you if I would let them speak?
What would they say if I'd let go?
If these walls could talk what would they say to you?
But for now we can pretend there are no walls
And maybe that's the reason that they cannot speak at all.
