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 gla** 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
