I wandered the lonely road Like it was the only road. I called out to nobody there. I called out but nobody cared.
The echoes sometimes call From no memory at all. Nobody ever felt the pain That caused this refrain; A sound that startles me Somehow it shames me. Often it blames me.
I don’t understand the reason There can be time without season, Leaves fall without any tree. Voices heard but only by me. Is this only my imagination Or some kind of hallucination?
I wandered the lonely road Like it was the only road. I called out to nobody there. I called out but nobody cared.
Is this something the lonely do? Is this what the solitary go through? Do all loners dance to a ditty Dictated and orchestrated by pity? Is being single a kind of madness Brought on by descent into sadness Where one is never told That they have lost their hold?
The is a kind of sad magic That makes clowns of the tragic And paints impressive hues On the excuses I use To try to mask the crippling pain; Of swirling around the drain. It’s not until the last bubble That I know I am in trouble.
I wandered the lonely road Like it was the only road. I called out to nobody there. I called out but nobody cared.
