Face the wall
John mc glynnAnd she looked as bright as burning ember, but Tommy just looked wet
And he didn't laugh at all, turn to face the empty wall again
When she held him, love was in his eyes, but it never touched his brain
And she couldn't play the way he could 'cause she didn't know the game
And she didn't laugh at all, turn to face the empty wall again
And the summer came again, then winter, and she didn't really care
'Cause she hadn't seen his face forever, 'cause she knew he wasn't there
And she didn't laugh at all, turn to face the empty wall again
So she let them go their separate ways 'cause she knew she might as well
And their story fades down all the days, now there's nothin' left to tell
And she doesn't laugh at all, turn to face the empty wall again
They met in rainy late December in the place they'd always met
And she looked as bright as burning ember, but Tommy just looked wet
And he didn't laugh at all, turn to face the empty wall again
And she didn't laugh at all, turn to face the empty wall again
