Lonely grief is hounding me
Like the lonely shadow ... hounding me
It's always there just out of sight
Like a frightning breeze on a lightning night
Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music ... in the rain
Full of grief and full 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 help in hand
To understand
Why does it bring this ache to me
Why it don't matter why
I only know misery ... has to be ... a 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
