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
