Only the Lonely

I'm raising up my voice

To the walls and to the sky

It seeks no explanation

It waits for no reply

Really it is nothing

Just a cry to the wilds

I'm delirious with chaos

I'm wonderstruck with awe

In my soul I'm dreaming only

Of your velvet shore

When I'm walking there my face

Untangles like a child

And only the lonely

Only the lonely

Lonely could know me

I've been talking all night long

There's nothing more to say

So I'm searching every mirror

For a trace of yesterday

But the air it holds no traces

Where the eagles were flying

I'm haunted by the skyline

The concrete and the rain

The window speaks of winter

So I'll set my heart again

Somewhere in the dust

A curlew is crying

And only the lonely

Only the lonely

Lonely could know me

I'm talking all night long

Talking all night

There's a copper moon that's buried

Where solitude expands

And distant planets moving

They're weighing on my hands

They're darkening my pages

And there's daylight in my fingers

But it's snowing in my bones

Been sucking on the echo

Of a thousand telephones

And when we meet again

We will be strangers

And only the lonely

Only the lonely

Lonely could know me

And only the lonely

Only the lonely

Lonely could know me
