Lyrics Barry McGuire

Barry McGuire

Lonely Love

I see a face painted clearly now

Images take me back somehow

To the place just beyond my reach

Where only memory is allowed

I see clearly now

Time doesn't erase the colors there

Reaching for You I touch the air

I've got to find my way back home

Loneliness deepens my despair

Hoping You're still there

I'm lonely, Lord (love)

I'm ready to come home

My only love

I've left You all alone

For much too long

I want to forget ugly stains

I want to wash them in Your rain

I want to laugh with You again

But through the years, silent pain

Could any love remain

I'm lonely, Lord (love)

I'm ready to come home

My only love

I've left You all alone

For much too long

I can almost see You

I can almost touch You

I'm hoping You don't say we're through

I'm lonely, Lord (love)

I'm ready to come home

My only love

I've left You all alone

For much too long

I'm lonely, Lord (love)

I'm ready to come home

My only love

I've left You all alone

For much too long
