GREEN WALLS
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

I don’t want to live here
I don’t want to stay
Why did you bring me here
To the house on the hill

I want to go back home
Where the steps are wide
With my secret place waiting
And the ceilings are high

I remember the smiling lines
When we knew just who we were
A faded, yellow dream of mine is all that I have now
Lock me up inside the green walls
Let me feel your never ending love

I’m gonna walk out now
Through the rain and the cold
Cause anything’s better
Than the things I don’t know

There’s too many people
And I don’t know their names
Coming at me with pitchforks
Like the devil’s own pain

I remember the smiling lines
When we knew just who we were
A faded, yellow dream of mine is all that I have now
Lock me up inside the green walls
Let me near your never ending love

Wrap me up inside the green walls
Shimmering in never ending love

Lock me up inside the green walls…
Wrap me up inside the green walls…
