I'm raising up my voice   To the wall and to the sky   It seeks no explanation   It waits for no reply   Really it is nothing   Just a cry to the wilds      I'm delirious with chaos   I'm wonderstruck with awe   In my soul I'm dreaming only   Of your velvet shore   When I'm walking there my face   Untangles like a child      And only the lonely   Only the lonely   Lonely could know me      I've been talking all night long   There's nothing more to say   So I'm searching every mirror   For a trace of yesterday   But the air it holds no traces   Where the eagles were flying      I'm haunted by the skyline   The concrete and the rain   The window speaks of winter   So I’ll set my heart again   Somewhere in the dust    A curlew is crying      And only the lonely   Only the lonely   Lonely could know me      I'm talking all night long   I'm talking all night long      There's a copper moon that's buried   As solitude expands   And distant planets moving   They're weighing on my hands   They're darkening my pages      There's daylight in my fingers   But it's snowing in my bones   Been sucking on the echo    Of a thousand telephones   And when we meet again we will be strangers      And only the lonely   Only the lonely   Lonely could know me      And only the lonely   Only the lonely   Lonely could know me      I'm talking all night long
