Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Clouds of Loneliness

What can you do? You'll never win

Where will you go when night closes in?

Where will it lead? Will it ever end?

Where will it stop?

Losing a friend isn't what we had in mind exactly

All we need is a friend I guess

With my midnight star to guide through

Clouds of loneliness

You knew someone but was it love?

So many years, push came to shove

You had a dream, so they had one too

You turned away, they were untrue

In our early days we were too willing

At the time we had yet to arrive

Many a man and a woman found

Trying to stay alive

Where will you go? What will you do

When your whole world ain't talking to you?

Maybe you think you will see the light

Baby, it's time you hope it's right

And I'm all dressed up to be somebody

All I need is a friendly face

With my midnight crowd to glide through

Clouds of empty space

Seems like every time we turn around

What we see could be anyone's guess

Many a man and a woman found in

Clouds of loneliness
