[Verse 1]

Angry faces turn away

Some friends go but so few stay

Reminding you that it's only time

Before you lose them all but one

[Chorus]

That was me before you ran

That was me before you sang

For loneliness

[Guitar Break]

[Verse 2]

Little did you know it then

How hard it was to find a friend

To lean upon when you find you’re brave

To the pain that springs from your heart today

[Chorus]

For the time when your eyes were young

And you needed somewhere to belong...

Loneliness

[Verse 3]

The waters of time will wash away

Most of the tears that you cry today

But keep one to love for sorrow

So you can feel its woe tomorrow

[Chorus]

So when you find the night is cold

And the time from love makes you feel so old...

For loneliness

[Outro]

Then you'll cry for loneliness

For loneliness...
