Hello, walls, (hello) (hello) How'd things go for you today Don't you miss her Since she up and walked a way And I'll bet you dread to spend Another lonely night with me Lonely walls I'll keep you company. Hello, window - (hello) (hello) Well I see that you're still here Aren't you lonely Since our darlin' disappeared Well, look here, is that a teardrop In the corner of your pane Now, don't you try To tell me that it's rain. She went away and left us all alone The way she planned Guess we'll have to learn to get along Without her if we can; Hello, ceiling, (hello) (hello) I'm gonna stare at you awhile You know I can't sleep So won't you bear with me awhile We must all stick together or else I'll lose my mind I've got a feelin' She'll be gone a long, long time.
