Lonely Days

Lonely day and I’m prayin' for a change

Lonely day and I’m prayin' for a change

Lonely night – nothin' feels right

Lonely days and lonely nights

 

Feelin' strong – I should be gone

I’m gonna run to where I wanna be

I’ll climb the mountain – I’ll cross that sea

Lonely days and lonely nights

 

Windy day and everything’s the same

Windy day and everything’s the same

Windy night – I’m blowing outta sight

Windy days and windy nights

 

In the valley that I come from

We never sleep – we’re always lookin' at the sun

In the valley that I come from

We’re always workin' but we’re always havin' fun

 

Rainy day and I’m walkin' in the rain

Rainy day and I’m walkin' in the rain

Rainy night – I’m lookin' for your light

Rainy days and rainy nights

 

First I’m here then I’m gone again

Where do I go? – Who are my friends?

Wasted time, wasted cigarettes

Never knowing what the bad man gets

Wasted time, wasted cigarettes

No chances taken, you’ll have no regrets

 

Lonely day and I’m prayin' for a change

Lonely day and I’m prayin' for a change

Lonely night – nothin' feels right

Lonely days and lonely nights
