The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

SEVEN ROOMS OF GLOOM

I see a house, a lonely house, a house of stone 'cause now you're gone
Just seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom

I live with emptiness, without your tenderness

You took the dream I had for us, turned my dreams into dust
I watch the phone that never rings
I watch the door that never rings
Bring you back into my life
Turn this darkness into light
I'm all alone, all alone in this house that's not a home

I miss your love I once had known
Your tender, tender arms to comfort me

Without your love, your love inside this house is just a place for me to run and hide
Seven rooms, that's all it is, 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 you darling, desperately
I'm all alone, all alone in this house that's not a home

I miss your kiss I once had known
Your tender, tender kiss that was my very, very own

Empty silence is surrounding me
Lonely walls they stare at me
Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven 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 till your face again I see
