Loneliness

[moonyschild]

Loneliness by Annie Lennox, from Bare

Loneliness
Is a place that I know well
It's the distance between us
And the space inside ourselves

Emptiness
Is the chattering in your head
It's the call of the living
And the race from life to death

Well I know - yeah, I know
What you feel

Chorus:
And I've got a longing that's hard to find
Won't give me no peace of mind
Something that I've lived with all along
Days and weeks and months and years
Filling in the time, my dear
Trying to find a place where I belong

Hopelessness
Is the darkness in your heart
It's the sound of one hand clapping
While it's pulling you apart

Well I know - yeah, I know
What you feel

[chorus]

And I've got a hunger that's hard to fill
Driving me on overkill
Telling me that everything's gone wrong
Got me a need that I can't shake
More than I can hardly take
Somehow I just keep on going strong

When I call your name I'm going to scream out loud
I'll say here I am standing in the crowd
You'll say come to me with your open mind
You never know what you still might find

But you keep me here like a canceled flight
An empty train running through the night
An orphaned child, a broken shoe
And I'm still down here looking out for you
Are you there for me?

Are you there for me? I'm standing here for you

Are you there for me? Cause I'm here for you
