Two Sides of Lonely

[Verse 1]

I had one chance to tell you I was worthy

As we stood between the graves in our town

And the dead folks sang their forgotten songs

As I watched your eyes stare at the ground

On the one hand you're hoping I'm lying

On the other you hope I'm a fool

And the wind blew all the leaves around you

As you watched all our dreaming come true

[Chorus]

Two sides of lonely

One is heart, one is duty

Two sides of lonely

One's in the grave, and the other should be

[Verse 2]

We were alone together in Brooklyn

And the midnight snow fell in the park

And the cold wind crashed through the trees above us

As you watched the frost freeze our dead hearts

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

And the dead folks they hum all the songs that you sung

In the grave you dug yourself when we were young

And the dead folks they sway back and forth to the drum

And the two sides of lonely

Laid to rest in their arms

You rock back and forth as the seasons

Changed just like your mind in the dark

And the nights you sleep you dream of me

And the love you let die
