Loneliness

Loneliness
Is a place that I know well
It's the distance between us
And the space inside ourselves

Emptiness
Is the chattering in your head
It's the call of the living
And the race from life to death
And I know
Yeah, I know, what you feel

And I've got a longing 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 of your heart
It's the sound of one hand clapping
While it's pulling you apart
And I know
Yeah, I know
What you feel

And I've got a longing 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
Trying to find the place where I belong

And I've got a hunger that's hard to fill
Drivin' 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 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, runnin' through the night
An ophan child, a broken shoe
And I'm still down here
Lookin' out for you

Are you there for me?
'Cause I'm here for you
