Loneliness

These are lyrics to a song I recently recorded. You can find it on my myspace page if you're interested. www.myspace.com/nathanparent

 

Verse 1:

We sent her out on a windy day,

The clouds were high up in the sky.

A shaded road that led the way,

Cast funny shapes upon our eyes.

 

A steady leg and a broken wing,

To fly her straight into the wind.

I caught a glimpse of her heavy thoughts,

Now I’m suffering our loss.

 

Verse 2:

Memories of passing days,

Leave you scarred in unseen ways.

A final kiss and a glance that drops,

If you’d held me I might have stopped.

 

Time and everything within,

I’d cease the world from is unending spin.

Change day to night and one last thing,

The saddest words that would begin.

 

Chorus 1:

I always hurt myself when lonely words express themselves on me, on me.

Seven days have passed and she is never coming back again.

 

Verse 3:

Cherry juice and broken glass,

Make crystal pictures of the past.

Filled with unfamiliar laughs,

Oh now I understand at last.

 

She wasn’t ever truly mine,

I’d make believe her while drinking wine.

Although you know how the story goes,

“Sometimes you personify your woes!”

 

Chorus 2:

Oh, how I hurt myself when lonely words express themselves on me.

Twenty days have passed and she is never coming back again.

 

Bridge:

And in the time we’ve been apart,

I’ve set my mind ablaze and cursed the feelings I’ve held in my heart.

I guess it’s no secret, because you know;

My love for you will stay until my final show…

 

Chorus 3:

I always hurt myself when lonely words express themselves on me.

A hopeful year has passed and now I see you, please come back, oh please!

 

Come back, oh please, please come back to me.  To me. To me.

Author's Note

I left the labels on to make it even more obvious that they're lyrics. I hope it's not distracting.
