Clouds Of Loneliness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What can you do, you'll never win
Where will you go, when night closes in?
Where will it lead, will it ever it end?
Where will it stop?
Losing a friend isn't what we had in mind exactly
All we need is a friend, I guess
With my midnight star to guide through
Clouds of loneliness
You knew someone, but was it love?
So many years, push came to shove
You had a dream, so they had one too
You turned away, they were untrue
In our early days we were too willing
At the time we had yet to arrive
Many a man and a woman found
Trying to stay alive
Where will you go, what will you do
When your whole world ain't talking to you?
Maybe you think, you will see the light
Maybe you'll find, what you hope is right
And I'm all dressed up to be somebody
All I need is a friendly face
With my midnight crowd to glide through
Clouds of empty space
Seems like every time we turn around
WWhat we see could be anyone's guess
Many a man and a woman found
In clouds of loneliness
