It's a long way to nowhere

and I'm leaving very soon

On the way we pass so close

to the back side of the moon

Hey join the traveler if you got nowhere to go

Hang your head and take my hand

it's the only road I know



Oh! Lonely is the word, yeah yeah yeah!



I've been higher than stardust

I've been seen upon the sun

I used to count in millions then

but now I only count in one

come on, join the traveler

if you got nowhere to go

Hang your head and take my hand

it's the only road I know



Yeah, Lonely is the word

got to be the saddest song I ever heard



Yeah, Lonely is the name
