Lonely grief is hounding me
Like the lonely shadow hounding me
It’s always there just out of sight
Like a frightening dream on a lightening night
Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music in the rain
It’s born of grief and born of woe
But I hear it call and I’ve got to goWhere can I be headed for
The blues call in my north
To lick my heart once more
Love lives in a lonely land
Where there’s no helping hand to understand
Why does it bring this hag to me
Why it don’t matter why
I only know misery has to be part of me
Never hope to count on love
To be a partner of that heaven up above
Never hope to understand
Love is a bare land
A lonely land
A lonely land

Lonely grief is hounding me
Like the lonely shadow hounding me
It’s always there, just out of sight
Like a frightening dream on a lightening night
Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music in the rain
It’s born of grief and born of woe
But I hear it call and I’ve got to go
Where can I be headed for?
The blues crawled in my door to lick my heart once more
Love lives in a lonely land
Where there’s no helping hand to understand
Why does it bring this ache to me?
Why it don’t matter why
I only know misery
Has to be part of me
Never hope to count on love
To be a partner of that heaven up above
Never hope to understand, love is a barren land
A lonely land
A lonely land
