Paul Williams
Loneliness
[Verse 1]
Loneliness takes the romance out of falling stars
Fills the wishing wells and fills the bars
Run and hide the scars of loneliness

Loneliness makes a winter's night seem twice as long
Makes the summer sunlight much too strong
Nothing's really gone, it's only loneliness

[Chorus]
So stay awhile
We both have stories that are hungry to be told
Your eyes are warm, but I can feel your hands are cold
But still they must hold
It only takes a simple "yes", the time we spend leaves that much less

[Verse 2]
For loneliness, like a love song or an old cliche
It has it's hideouts, but it's never far away
Look around, you've found it's only loneliness

[Chorus 2]
So stay awhile
We've worn the night away and now it's almost done
If you could stay a bit of breakfast might be fun
It's too much work for one
And though it's just a simple guess, we're stronger now we've made the best
[Outro]
Of loneliness
Waits in silence while the shadows grow
Waits and wonders, if it's finally time to go
The "yes" in our hello said "no" to loneliness
