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
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 Explain Request ×
