Cowboy Junkies - Lonely Sinking Feeling lyrics

She says, 'I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling, you know what I mean?' With his hand on her back he's thinking, 'Where does that leave me?' Just when I think I've uncovered the secret to peace and tranquility that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me He says, 'I'm seeing those doubt filled questioning eyes and I can't believe it's true' With her head in her hands she sighs, 'It's me, not you' Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy of loving one so completely that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me Here in this silent room we wait on ancient ritual Staring at our hearts as if they were two caged animals If I am the first to unlock those rusty doors will I be the first found bleeding on the floor? She says, 'I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling, you know what I mean?' With his hand on her back he's thinking, 'Where does that leave me?' Just when I think I've uncovered the secret to peace and tranquility that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy of loving one so completely that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me
