Lyrics

Lonely teardrops, you've been crying
I hear them fall
In the night, the empty night
I hear your song
It goes right through me
It used to move me
(Lonely, lonely)

Lonely Paris, met a dancer
We did the stroll
Through the night, the empty night
Four years ago
I thought she knew me
She gave it to me
(Lonely, lonely)

I seem to see a rose
I reach out, then it goes
Now, in its thorns, I roll
The sky is grey and I am cold
Lord, I tell you, Lord, I tell you
All I want to do is get back home

Lonely teardrops, we did shoot them
They came on strong
Vials of rain to kill the pain
So far from home
I thought you knew me
You did it to me
(Lonely, lonely)

Lonely teardrops, I've been crying
All week long
Love is willing, but the bed is cold
Goodbye, Laurence
I thought I knew you
What good did that do?
(Lonely, lonely)

I seem to see a rose
I reach out, then it goes
Now, in its thorns, I roll
You never know until you know
Lord, I ask you, Lord, I beg you
All I want to do is get back home

(Lonely teardrops)
(Lonely teardrops)
(Lonely teardrops)
(Lonely teardrops)
(Lonely teardrops)
(Lonely teardrops)
(Lonely teardrops)
