Sometimes I get so lonely
Can't tell the moon from the sun
Babe, don't you leave me now
We've only just begun

Turn my world, upside down
Combine the wrong with the right
And baby! You gonna set me down
I'm gon' be here every night!

No more staying out in stables
No more lyin' in the meadow
I won't give you no more grief mama
I'll tell you no more lies

I've been workin' on my feelin'
An' the empathy is risin'
I won't give you no more trouble, love
I'll let you in my life

You gotta send me a message
Or maybe a telephone call
Down the river of dreams
That's all I want from you, that's all!

'Cause I've been cryin' at night
And the wind's lost my sails
And your essence is fadin'
From my silver-plate rails

Yeah sometimes I get so lonely
Can't tell the moon from the sun
Baby, baby don't you leave me now
Oh we've only just begun!

Turn my world inside out
Combine the right with wrong
And baby! You can set me down
We'll play our lonely song

You're complex as my Shangri-La
Behind my paper curtain
You hide yourself and then you fall
Into the deep uncertainty

Think you know you're not the only one
That sits alone at night
And wonders if the lonely song
Was ever really right

So I'm gonna send you a message
In a bottle down the river
I'm gonna hear your sweet voice again
And make your body shiver

'Cause the wind has picked up again
It carries us far
You know you're the only friend
I'd trust with my heart

Yeah, sometimes I get so lonely

Sometimes I get so lonely!

Sometimes I get so lonely

Darlin' we'll play our lonely song
