It's Lonely I Can't Stand
Embracing Solitude: A Journey Through the Lonely Roads of the Heart
Lyrics
I took the long way home tonight down a lonely road
I chose a longer route home tonight, traveling on a desolate path.
No riders, no company, Just me and the radio.
No passengers, no companionship, only myself and the radio.
One by one I watched the miles slowly fall behind
Observing the miles gradually pass one after the other.
My heart weighing heavy knowing what I wouldn't find.
The moon over my shoulder and the stars up in the sky,
The moon behind me, stars above, serving as a reminder of what's absent tonight.
There to remind me what's missing tonight.
Chorus:
< em > Chorus:
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand.
Being alone is tolerable, but the feeling of loneliness is unbearable.
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
-Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.
-Staring out my window now at the world passing me by,
Gazing out of my window, observing the world pass me by.
Trapped here in this darkness doing solitary time.
Trapped in darkness, enduring solitary time.
across the open fields I hear the soulful sad refrain,
Through open fields, I hear a soulful, sorrowful melody.
The high lonesome wailing of some distant midnight train.
The distant, mournful sound of a midnight train.
The sound of my heart beating and the silence in these rooms
The rhythmic beat of my heart and the quietness in these rooms.
They're to remind me what's missing tonight.
They serve as reminders of what's absent tonight.
(Chorus)
< em > (Chorus)
It's just another night on the one hand
Another night, seemingly ordinary on one side.
On the other, it cuts like a knife.
On the other side, it feels as painful as a cutting knife.
(Chorus)
< em > (Chorus)
