Shawn Colvin - If These Walls Could Speak Lyrics
If these old walls, if these old walls could speak.
What a tale they have to tell, hard headed people raisin' hell.
A couple in love livin' week to week.
Rooms full of laughter, if these old walls could speak.
These would have a tale to tell, the sun goin' down and dinner bells.
And children playin' at hide and seek.
From floor to rafters, if these old walls could speak.
They would tell you that I'm sorry.
For bein' and cold and blind and weak.
They would tell you that it's only that I have a stubborn streak.
If these old walls could speak.
If these old fashion window panes had eyes.
I guess they would have seen it all.
And every dream that we came to seek,
And followed after, if these old walls could speak.
They would tell you that I owe you,
More that I could ever pay.
Here's someone who really loves you,
Don't ever go away.
That's what these walls would say.

Shawn Colvin If These Walls Could Speak Comments
I have listened to Shawn for over 30 years and never grow tired of that beautiful voice and guitar work.
Beautiful .
Almost every cover of a Jimmy Webb song is great, although I typically prefer the original. Regardless, this is a very nice version!
Was the original version Glen Campbell? Jimmy Webb said that he wrote it with Waylon Jenning’s voice in mind, but I think Glen was the first to record it.
Stunning song Mr. Webb, and a beautiful fitting versions by Shawn, Glenn Campbell, Amy Grant , Nanci Griffith and many more........
It's a stunningly beautiful song no matter who sings it.
Jimmy Webb has linked to this video from his Facebook page...you should be getting some traffic.
Cool. Thanks. :-)
Shawn Colvin is the most compelling artist of her generation. It's almost unbearable to see/hear her do this song live. There is a scar on my soul from listening to her and I cherish it.
