Loneliness (someone To Hold)

Well I went out walking, but ended up talking to you
While asking your name, I watched all your pain seeping through

I asked, why were you crying?... theres no need for lying to me
She said that theres nothing wrong, I said that something must be

She said, but youre just a stranger, you dont need my anger or blues
I said, but we all need a hand, when were standing on glass with no shoes.

So she said Im tired of this loneliness, hiding out deep in my bones.
My mind is a mess and my heart is a handful of stepped on stones

Chorus:
Its been too long
Every evening, every dawn
Loneliness comes upon me

And its grown so old, all this emptiness, all this cold
Im not digging for sympathy or begging for gold
I just want someone to hold

But after a while, she managed to smile and she said
Well look at me now, you wouldve thought all my happiness fled

She said, youre also human, youve been through loneliness too
I said, darling, the words that you speak, you know they are true

I said, but the sun always rises, and the spring always comes when its time.
She said, it takes light to see shadows, it takes pain to see love truly shine

And you can wade through the waters and climb all the towers in town,
She said, but love isnt something you find when youre looking around

CHORUS

So I wait
Through this tiring, lonely fate
Hoping tomorrow its changed when I wake

CHORUS
