For All The Lonely

(album: Didn't You Used To Be... - 1992)

Somewhere there's a broken heart
Crying over love departed
Every time she thinks of him she's sorry
Someplace there's a long lost soul
Who spills another tale of woe
One more drink, he's last to leave the party
Somebody's turning out the light
After another empty night
Nobody's there to hold them in the dark

For all the lonely
You're not the only one tonight
To all the lonely
I take you home with me tonight

Someone's left out on the street
Just another mouth to feed
Makes you think thank God not me now don't it?
White or black it's all the same
Another face another shame
Just another one of the unwanted

Where do the lost forgotten go
The ones that nobody wants to know?
Nobody's there to hold them in the dark

For all the lonely
You're not the only one tonight
To all the lonely
I take you home with me tonight

Though I can never ever know you pain
Or what it's like inside it
Anyone who has a heart
Would be a fool if they denied it

Where do all the lonely go?
Where do all the lonely go?
Where do all the lonely go?
Where do they go?

Somebody's turning out the light
After another empty night
Nobody's there to hold him in the dark

For all the lonely
You're not the only one tonight
To all the lonely
I take you home with me tonight
