There's no one to be lonely with,
No one who can barely smile,
Only chattering conversations,
When will tears be in style?
I am weary of all the gladness,
The grinning voices of the land,
Tonight I wallow in sadness
And the tragic mystery of man.
How can I speak of yesterday
When I don't know what to say?
How can I talk of tomorrow
When words get in my way?
No one who can barely smile,
Only chattering conversations,
When will tears be in style?
I am weary of all the gladness,
The grinning voices of the land,
Tonight I wallow in sadness
And the tragic mystery of man.
How can I speak of yesterday
When I don't know what to say?
How can I talk of tomorrow
When words get in my way?
There's a language I never learned,
A sadness I cannot reveal.
There's a courage that has deserted me,
I cannot tell what I feel.
A tree is easy to chat with,
The sky will say what it can.
Even the moon is responsive,
The silence is only man.
Find a tree that you can love,
Tell all your dreams to the sky,
Give up your lust to the moon,
And please be lonely as I
A sadness I cannot reveal.
There's a courage that has deserted me,
I cannot tell what I feel.
A tree is easy to chat with,
The sky will say what it can.
Even the moon is responsive,
The silence is only man.
Find a tree that you can love,
Tell all your dreams to the sky,
Give up your lust to the moon,
And please be lonely as I
There's No one To Be Lonely With
