7 Rooms Of Gloom
Four Tops
(Holland - Dozier - Holland)
I see a house, a house of stone
(Seven rooms)
A lonely house `cause now you`ve gone
(Filled with gloom)
Seven rooms, that`s all it is, seven rooms of gloom
(Just seven rooms of gloom)
I live with emptiness
(Filled with emptiness)
Without your tenderness
You took the dream I had for us
Turned my dreams into dust
I watch the phone never rings
I watch the door that never rings
Bring you back into my life
Turn this darkness into light
I`m all alone in this house
Turn this house into a home
I need your touch to comfort me
The tender, tender arms that once held me
Without your love, your love inside
This house is just a place to run and hide
Seven rooms, that`s all it is - seven rooms of gloom
Rooms of emptiness
Without your tenderness
Don`t make me live from day to day
Watching the clock that ticks away
Another day, another way
Another reason for me to stay
I need you here, here with me
I need your loving desperately
I`m all alone, all alone
In this house that`s not a home
I miss your love I once had known
I miss your kiss that was my very, very own
Empty silence surrounding me
Lonely walls they stare at me
Seven rooms, that`s all it is - rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness
Without your tenderness
All the windows are painted black
And wait right here until you come back
I`ll keep waiting, waiting
Until your face again I see [fade]
