Loneliness takes the romance out of falling stars Fills the wishing wells and fills the bars Run and hide the scars of loneliness Loneliness makes a winter's night seem twice as long Makes the summer sunlight much too strong Nothing's really gone, it's only loneliness So stay awhile We both have stories that are hungry to be told Your eyes are warm, but I can feel your hands are cold But still they must hold It only takes a simple "yes", the time we spend leaves that much less For loneliness, like a love song or an old cliche It has it's hideouts, but it's never far away Look around, you've found it's only loneliness So stay awhile We've worn the night away and now it's almost done If you could stay a bit of breakfast might be fun It's too much work for one And though it's just a simple guess, we're stronger now we've made the best Of loneliness Waits in silence while the shadows grow Waits and wonders, if it's finally time to go The "yes" in our hello said "no" to loneliness
