Lonesome

Lonesome

All on the lonesome, a heart in the whisper
A light flickering far away, a signal to start the day’s
work at night and begin the approach
of infinity

Take on the sadness
Throw away your mask of fear and persona
Look into his eyes
And forgive the world for its wrong

Look into the eyes of the moon
for hope and simple tunes of a song
A ballad that rings forever true with its voice, tune

The layers of reflection onto the glass
It takes on any light and reintroduces it into the world
In another reality, another tonality with
the busy life behind it
And the peace and quiet of an empty cold room

With people that talk about their dreams
And their beliefs, whispering their lacking
And joys, their sharing of situations and difficulties
In all of speech and weather and roads

Thinking about the emptiness you must feel as well
Driving home in the darkness to a song
watching the cars pass by like they have a direction to go
And thoughts passing through your mind like the images
running through your eyes and meaning nothing

Because it is all the same, it has got meaning, but not what you are looking for
It is all color and memory
but it is not what makes you complete.

If there’s a wish I can make in the world, it would be
not for voice, or feeling, for fullness, or joy
It would not be for money or friends, for skies or angels to save me,
It would not be paradise or the most beautiful sunset
It would not be for the most basic things, or the most infinite supply
It would be for you to find that love you are searching for

Driving late at night listening to the same song
All on a lonesome, you’ll have someone to think about
Someone to remember and smile to,
Someone to make wishes to on the drive home.

Someone, someone, someone like you.
