Withn These Walls

Life's not hard      
To understand...      
Politicians      
Like you and I ...      
Work'in, liv'in      
Off this land      
Mak'in money...      
To pay the band    
     
Lights are dim      
Shadows long      
Kids are grown      
Long time gone      
Friendly smile      
Still warms my heart      
Sparkl'in eyes      
Will set me free    
     
Another day      
Has come and gone      
Sun did shine      
Wind did blow      
We're standing here      
You and I      
Fellow inmates      
Within these walls    
     
Been together      
For a while      
Laughs we've shared      
Sorrows, too      
I still wave      
To say good bye      
And still smile      
When you say hi      
If I could      
I would do it      
All again    
   
These old hands      
Can still hold you      
Take you gently      
In these arms      
Danc'in slowly      
In our time      
Still enjoy'in      
All your charms    
       
Another day      
Has come and gone      
Sun did shine      
Wind did blow      
We're lying here      
You and I      
Long time lovers      
Within these walls
