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
