Loneliness

Loneliness

Is a place that I know well

It's the distance between us

And the space inside ourselves

And emptiness....

Is the chattering in your head

It's the call of the living

And the race from life to death

Woa and I know

Yes and I know

What you feel...

And I've got a longin'

That's hard to find

Won't give me no peace of mind

Something that I've lived with all along

Days and weeks and months and years

Filling in the time my dear

Tryin' to find the place where I belong

Hopelessness

Is the darkness in your heart

It's the sound of one hand clapping

While it's pulling you apart

Woa and I know

Yes and I know

What you feel

And

I've got a longin'

That's hard to find

Won't give me no peace of mind

Something that I've lived with all along

Days and weeks and months and years

Filling in the time my dear

Tryin' to find the place where I belong

And

I got a hunger that's

Hard to fill

Driving me on overkill

Tellin' me that everything's gone wrong

Got me a need

That I can't break

More than I can hardly take

Somehow I still keep on going strong

When I call your name

I'm gonna scream out loud

I'll say...

"here I am standing in the crowd"

You'll say "come to me"

With your open mind

You never know

What you still might find"

But you keep me here

Like a cancelled flight

An empty train

Running through the night

An orphan child

A broken shoe

And I'm still down here

Looki' out for you

Are you there for me?

'Cause I'm here for you
