FACE TO THE WALL

(Bill Anderson - Faron Young)

RECORDED BY FARON YOUNG

Was I farther from your conscience standing face to the wall

I suspected there was something that you weren't telling me

And last night I learned the reason for it all

I was looking through your window saw you kissing someone else

You reached up and turned my picture slowly face to the wall

Face to the wall so you wouldn't have to see

Anything at all to make you think of me

Did the cheapness of the moment make you feel ashamed and small

Was I farther from your conscience standing face to the wall

Alone out in the darkness were the eyes that worshipped you

As you cheated me I watched my idle fall

With your arms around another and his lips where mine should be

Then I saw you turned my picture slowly face to the wall

Face to the wall...
