Long Lonely Walk
Sometimes when I read about love
And I am into the page
And I remember myself when I was
Coming of age
I don’t see any reason to not ever
Give this away
I see no musical instrument
For me to play
But I will sing alone as I wait out
Everyday
Seems to me I have always just
Felt this way
Seems like everyone I want to love
Never will stay
No matter how I hold on tight it keeps
Getting away
So I shiver inside my own cold soul
Everyday
As I wait the time when you come to
Finally stay
And it’s ok to fall in love and
Drift away
But it’s only a dream and I dream
I drifted away
And I feel inside of this dream
I may stay
When I think of all the times I cry
and that’s every day
I just sleep and dream of music someday
I will play
It’s such a cold and long
Lonely wait
But I cannot break one in two
It is my fate
Seems now I am always afraid
If I ever think of what I owe
I have already paid
I only hope someone finds a way in
It’s getting late
Still I wait so patiently and I
Opened the gate
All my dreams may have to drop inside
and permanently wait
And walk forever on a crooked road
I will never get straight
