Please look at that lonely man
In the shadow of his past
He always thought his happiness
was always gonna last
Just look at the lonely man
Walking down the lane
There's nothing in his battered face
But his everlasting pain
He thought that it was happiness
The thing which he had found
And then one day he realised
His feet they felt no ground
And in his mind the same thoughts
kept spinning ‘round and ‘round
Lonely man
Lonely man
The things he'd known as happiness
Just vanished in thin air
And since that day his loneliness
Became too hard to bear
And in his mind the same thoughts
kept spinning ‘round and ‘round
Lonely man
Lonely man
His face grew old
His eyes got dead and dry
And even though he wanted so
He had no tears to cry
Just look at that lonely man
Walking sad and blue
My dear friend I tell you true
It might as well be you.
