Loneliness King (a song I wrote)
(download)
I am a lonely moon shadow
floating on a midnight trail
down the hill to the hollow
where I'll sing a song of betrayal Darlin, the fire's out.
I can't see through the window now.
How will I keep the darkness at bay
without your spark? As I stand on our rusty old porch, dear
and open that creaky front door,
dust and sheets cover memories.
Ghosts of a life I had once before Darlin, the fire's out.
I can't see through the window now.
How will I keep the darkness at bay?
Darlin, the fire's out!
I can't see through the window now.
How will I keep the darkness at bay
without your spark? Well, I slept through that long frigid winter
and now, the birds think it's spring.
They're singing their little bird love songs
but I'm still the Loneliness King
without your spark.
