I Took My Darling Down,

I Took My Darling Down

To That Big Grey House Down The Lane

And Then The Doctor Said,

He Said "It's In Her Head

She's Never Going To Be Right Again"

I Kissed My Love Goodbye,

She Didn't Blink An Eye

They Took Her Down The Hall,

She Never Looked Back At All



Oh Behind Grey Walls,

Somewhere There's A Soul

Behind Grey Walls,

She's Out Of Control

She's Crying Out For Help,

No-one Can Hear

O Lord Have Pity On Her,

O Lord Have Pity On Her



My Darling Walks The Floor,

My Darling Walks The Floor

She Walks Every Minute That She Can

I Heard My Darling Say,

I Heard My Darling Say

That She Don't Know Who I Am

Cigarette Burns Down Her Arm,

Said She Tried To Do Herself Harm

Tied Her Arms In The Back,

Trussed Her Up Like A Sack



Oh Behind Grey Walls,

Somewhere There's A Soul

Behind Grey Walls,

She's Out Of Control

She's Crying Out For Help,

No-one Can Hear

O Lord Have Pity On Her,

O Lord Have Pity On Her



I Saw My Darling's Face,

I Saw My Darling's Face

It Looked So Pale In The Distance

She Stared Out From Her Room

Into The Dying Gloom

And I Saw Her Poor Tears Glisten

Pills To Keep Her Calm, More Punctures

Than A Junkie In Her Arm

Strapped Her On The Bed,

Seventy Volts Through Her Head



Oh Behind Grey Walls,

Somewhere There's A Soul

Behind Grey Walls,

She's Out Of Control

She's Crying Out For Help,

No-one Can Hear

O Lord Have Pity On Her,

O Lord Have Pity On Her



Behind Grey Walls

Behind Grey Walls
