Richard & Linda Thompson - Lonely Hearts lyrics

We may never meet in the light of day If we pa**ed on the street, would we look the other way So I search for you where we can't be seen And I know we'll meet on the page of this magazine Two lonely hearts in an ocean of loneliness Two lonely hearts in a shipwreck of pain We call to each other as we drown in the city Oh why Do we have to remain The outcasts in love and the losers in gain? It's a mean old town, can't show your heart If you stand up and say what you mean they tear you apart And they call it love, sell it by the pound But the lovers are gone or they're living down underground Two lonely hearts in an ocean of loneliness Two lonely hearts in a shipwreck of pain Call to each other as we drown in the city Oh why Do we have to remain The outcasts in love and the losers in gain? No-one needs a friend, no one cares no more They'll look hard at you but they won't take the chain off the door O they work and slave, keep their conscience clean They come home at night and they talk to an empty screen Two lonely hearts in an ocean of loneliness Two lonely hearts in a shipwreck of pain Call to each other as we drown in the city Oh why Do we have to remain The outcasts in love and the losers in gain? Two lonely hearts, two lonely hearts Two lonely hearts, two lonely hearts Call to each other as we drown in the city Oh why Do we have to remain The outcasts in love and the losers in gain? The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?
