Lonely Day

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh-oh-ooh, oh-ooh A lonely day Oh-oh-ooh, oh-ooh A lonely day [Verse 1] When I was just a young son I would sit in the tree of my front lawn Dressed for combat with my Star Wars gun I'd been watching movies bout Vietnam When I was just a teen On the golf course green, I took LSD Saw my whole life right in front of me So fresh so crystal clean When I woke up the next day With my boys drinking 40's smokin' jays Back to normal but not for me I had been graced by the face or at least The back of the knot found myself in a place I could not turn the plot, I could not turn away That was a lonely day [Chorus] That was a lonely, that was a lonely day Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away [Verse] Couple years in Oregon, 19 when I found myself back again Where I feel free in the city that's home to me University place where I used to cop tree In the square with my pen writing down everything At the Nuyorican Poets Cafe Seein' my reflection, staring back at me [Chorus] That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away [Bridge] That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day I could not turn away That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day I could not turn away [Verse 3] Flash forward 15 years have gone by Hair gone white but the well don't run dry Magic in my mic that might make you cry When the bass drop make you feel so fly 10 thousand hours, now I don't need to try When I sink in, the body, it come alive Just play the beat and the rest will fall in line Interest I be growing like all of the time [Chorus 2] That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day I thought that was the only way I thought that was the only way Now all my days are no longer gray Won't you send some love my way? Send some love my way Send some love my way [Outro] (That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day) (Now all my days are no longer gray) (Won't you send some love my way?) Send some love my way Send some love my way
