Lonely teardrops, you been crying
i hear them fall
in the night the empty night
i hear your song
it goes right through me
it used to move me
(lonely, lonely)
Lonely paris, met a dancer
we did the stroll
through the night the empty night
four years ago
i thought you know me
she gave it to me
(lonely, lonely)
Chorus:
i seem to see a rose
i reach out then it goes
now in its thorns i roam
the sky is grey and i am cold
lord i tell you, lord i tell you
all i want to do is get back home
Lonely teardrops, we did shoot them
they came on strong
vials of rain to kill the pain
so far from home
i thought you knew me
you did it to me
(lonely, lonely)
Lonely teardrops, i've been cryin'
all week long
love is willing but the bed is cold
goodbye, laurence
i thought i knew you
what good did that do
(lonely, lonely)
Chorus:
i seem to see a rose
i reach out then it goes
now in its thorns i roam
you never know until you know
lord i ask you, lord i beg you
all i want to do is get back home
Lonely teardrops (repeat)
