With Walls of Blue

in the stillness of night in a little room with walls of blue little johnny cries alone alone and cold alone and afraid in his little room with walls of blue with walls of blue with walls of blue in a corner grocery late into the night johnny's mother lights a cigarette watching the time drag along waiting for the moment to return to johhny and cradle him in her arms and rock him gently to sleep and cuddle him so he won't weep in his little room with walls of blue with walls of blue with walls of blue in another town far away a man thinks of his son far away as he lies awake far away knowing he'll never return far away wondering if everything is okay far away a tear rolls down his chin far away he feels alone for his son far away he sees little johhny crying far away in his little room far away with walls of blue with walls of blue with walls of blue
