I telephone
The radio
There’s a stranger listening
Try to open up
There’s so little time
And I’m on my own again

Love is so far away
It cannot even be, no way I can believe there is hope or meaning
I’ll face another day
Some twenty senseless hours in the rain
Take my pain

The hopelessness I’m drowning in
So at loss I don’t know where to begin
It’s got me feeling so ashamed
And I can’t put to words how much I’m drained
Desperate for just one thing to hold on to
It’s getting late
And all this weight upon my shoulders pushing down
Darkness won’t wait
Soon surrounding me

An empty street
Wish I could sleep
I can hear them singing
So full of joy
And friendly warmth
Man how I just wish they’d care

Life just feels miles away
Not close to what it was, I’m stranded they say it’s because of my condition
I can still hear them sing
There must be something more beyond the rain
Please take this pain
