Jackson C. Frank - Yellow Walls Lyrics






Yellow walls that shine like silver
Dark green windows
Stare never closed
From yellow walls that shine like silver
Through the hands I choose to hold

Painting nightlight
In searching questions
Cannot catch the shadow
That is me
Running naked
And unmentioned
Through the death
Of a saltless sea

No one knows me
In the morning
No one sees me go walking by
And if I listen while no one answers
The winds can only echo a goodbye

While through your windows
And through your walls
I see you made of crystal light
I see you running and never moving
I see you waiting for my knife

Through yellow walls that shine like silver
Dark green windows
Stare never closed
Through yellow walls that shine like silver
Through the hands I choose to hold

  1. T.... I....

    One of the best songs to capture the feeling of both being ignored by people to the point where no one cares that you exist, and total, complete isolation...."no one knows me....no one sees me....no one answers."

  2. K.... G....

    Al Stewart is playing guitar on this.

  3. H.... N....

    The album notes say it refers to the wallpaper in his parents house...as for the window, many older american homes had colored and etched glass windows...so i totally get it.

  4. T.... I....

    I think Bob Dylan got the melody for When I Paint My Masterpiece from this song.

  5. j.... ....

    The album was produced in '65 by Paul Simon.

  6. A.... B....

    Love this. Brilliant song. Great line. "No one knows me
    In the morning".

  7. b.... ....

    One of my favourites of Jackson C. Frank. The song is about hallucinatory experiences he had when he was in hospital recovering from his burns.
    I can't stop listening to it, why this only has 6k views beats me.

  8. Z.... o....

    i love it.

  9. A.... S....

    Jackson C. Frank, Nick Drake, Jimmi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Johnny Cash, top, top, TOP!!!!
