Lonely

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. --- Lonely - Del Amitri
