Mark Heard Lonely One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lonely one, hard times inside you
I have seen you crying
Lonely one, dry eyes can't hide you
When the truth draws nigh

[Verse 2]
Now lonely one you're such an actress
Smiling with your makeup
Lonely one you're out of practice
And smiles are hard to fake

[Bridge 1]
You're not in love, not even with your lovers
You've thrown your heart to the wind
Oh lonely one, when will you ever bother
To reach for the hand of a friend

[Verse 3] Lonely one, run from the shadows
Darkness lies in waiting
Lonely one you know it matters
That you find your way

[Fiddle solo]
[Bridge 2]
Oh lonely one
When will you ever bother
To reach for the hand of a friend
Friend

[Verse 4]
Lonely one, no one to talk to
Cords of silence bind you
Lonely one gentle whispers call you
Seek and you will find

[Outro]
Oh lonely one
Oh lonely one
Oh lonely one
Oh lonely one
