Lonely

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Should we go out dancing with the loon? My best friend in the whole wide room The night is never long enough The morning whispers, "All is not lost" I hear you singing down the wire And I fall open as a flower You're the hope, you're what is left When all has emptied and has fled [Pre-Chorus] And I ask my Pa "Say, what'll I be?" I ask the question like I know the answer already [Chorus] And I'm falling, falling, I can see I don't know what is good for me But lonely, lonely, lonely likes my company [Verse 2] Will you be nostalgia in the autumn? Will you be the Hell I've known of Heaven? Will you be the smile under my nose? Will you be the naked I can't clothe? Will you be the Welsh choir on the wind All roaring and swearing at the ocean? Will you be the ash of a well-tended fire? Will you be the ambush of my desire? [Pre-Chorus] I ask my Ma "What'll I do?" She said, "Shut your mouth if someone desires you" [Chorus] And I'm falling, falling, I can see I don't know what is good for me But lonely, lonely, lonely likes my company And who'd dare to love me? I'm a whore I'm too exposed, honey, I'm rubbed raw And all that makes it better is your touch [Outro] Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely, lonely, lonely, loves my touch
