Lonely teardrops, you been crying   I hear them fall   In the night, the empty night   I hear your song      It goes right through me   It used to move me   Lonely, lonely      Lonely Paris, met a dancer   We did the stroll   Through the night, the empty night   Four years ago      I thought you know me   She gave it to me   Lonely, lonely      I seem to see a rose   I reach out, then it goes   Now, in its thorns, I roam   The sky is gray and I am cold      Lord, I tell you, Lord, I tell you   All I want to do is get back home      Lonely teardrops, we did shoot them   They came on strong   Vials of rain to kill the pain   So far from home      I thought you knew me   You did it to me   Lonely, lonely      Lonely teardrops, I've been cryin'   All week long   Love is willing but the bed is cold   Goodbye, Laurence      I thought I knew you   What good did that do   Lonely, lonely      I seem to see a rose   I reach out, then it goes   Now, in its thorns, I roam   You never know until you know      Lord, I ask you, Lord, I beg you   All I want to do is get back home      Lonely teardrops   Lonely teardrops   Lonely teardrops   ...
