Poetry / Lyrics

Where love’s gone, I’ll take my gun, I won't be long.

Now the clouds are floating over me, And the cars are moving down the street.

I’m waiting for the sun, to shine, I’m waiting for your heart to burst, through the sky.

What kind of fool would let this be, I’m the most lonely.

And I’m longing for your soul, to call, I’m waiting for a single chair, in your world.

Such madness can depend, on me, I’m the most lonely I’m the most lonely.

Is life upstairs, And should I care, Well, you’re not there.

Now the years are looking back on me, And my pain is sliding down the street.

I’m waiting for the sun, to shine, I’m waiting for your heart to merge, into mine.

What kind of fool would let, this be, I’m the most lonely.

See I’m longing for your soul, to call, I’m waiting for a single chair, in your world.

What part of sad could you, not see? I’m the most lonely.

Still I’m waiting for the sun, to shine, I’m waiting for those birds to sing, in the sky.

Of all the sorry things, you’ll see, I’m the most lonely.

Yes, I’m the most lonely.

The Most Lonely
