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
