LONELY NIGHT

Sydney Carter 1915-2004

My heart is running dry, 

There's not a shoulder to cry,

Everyone's a stranger tonight,

It's such a lonely night.

Lonely are the stars, lonely the night,

A lonely cloud wanders, silently it cries,

It's raining tears tonight,

It's such a lonely night.

The waves washed away my sandcastles, 

The eerie darkness holds me in shackles,

Even my shadows desert me tonight,

It's such a lonely night.

So far are you, that you can't hear my cries,

My heart doesn't beat anymore, yet it never dies,

I bleed alone, not a soul in sight,

It's such a lonely night.
