Bruce Cockburn
Loner (1980)
[Verse 1]
Down at the bus station
Shark grins and sandpaper conversation
Men's faces women's bodies on the magazine stand
And a headline about Sarajevo and Tehran

[Verse 2]
They are radiant angels, they are earthly slaves
They are predators moving in their endless days
Days of striving, nights of novocaine
Never gonna bring them freedom from their pain

[Chorus]
I'm a loner
With a loner's point of view
I've always been a loner
Now I'm in love with you

[Verse 3]
Wild shadows, acid verbs
Eyelids opening dans mon coeur
Tu me touche comme la pression
Des etoiles sur les ténèbres

[Verse 4]
In the elevator and the empty hall
How'm I ever gonna hear you when you call?
I'm always living and I always die
On the event horizon of your eyes
[Chorus]
I'm a loner
With a loner's point of view
I've always been a loner
Now I'm in love with you

[Violin Solo]

[Chorus]
I'm a loner
With a loner's point of view
I've always been a loner
Now I'm in love with you
