Lonely
Iain Harvie, Justin Currie
Lonely I have been without her
Lonely I have been so long
The only thing that keeps me going is
I know she’s wrong.
Wrong to think I wouldn’t miss her
Wrong to think I’d be alright
And wrong is all I feel
In bed at night.
I listen out for the bell to ring
In the chapel on the hill
The crowd of sound from the streets around
Is a howl of sadness still.
I don’t think I could ever wander
I don’t think I could ever stray
The mark she left on my heart
Is gonna stay.
I walk my rumour through the city
To fill the empty afternoon
And turn for home
Under the mocking of the moon.
The crazy thing about a golden ring
Is it will melt in any fire
But I didn’t think for a minute
She would simply melt at his desire.
