Chorus 1
I see a house, a house of stone,
(Seven... rooms),
A lonely house 'cos now you've gone.
(Filled... with gloom).
Seven rooms,
(Just seven rooms, that's all it is,
Seven rooms of gloom.
...Of gloom).
I live with emptiness, without your tenderness.
(Filled with emptiness).
Verse 1
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 a-lone in this house, turn this house into a home.
Bridge 1
I need your touch to comfort me,
The tender, tender arms, that once held me.
Chorus 2
Without your love, your love in-side,
(Seven... rooms),
This house is just a place to run and hide.
(Filled... with gloom).
Seven rooms,
(Just seven rooms, that's all it is,
Seven rooms of gloom.
...Of gloom).
Rooms of emptiness, without your tenderness.
(Rooms of emptiness).
Verse 2
Don't make me live from day to day, watching the clock that ticks a-way.
Another day, another way, another reason for me to stay.
I need you here, here with me, I need you darling, desperate-ly.
I'm all alone, all alone, in this house that's not a home.
Bridge 2
I miss your love, I once had known.
I miss your kiss, that was my very, very own.
Chorus 3
Empty silence, sur-rounding me,
(Seven... rooms),
Lonely walls, they stare at me.
(Filled... with gloom).
I live with emptiness, without your tenderness.
(Filled with emptiness).
Verse 3
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.
