If you drive late at night and pass the town at night   And know that someone lies awake not sleeping   If you drive fast at night and hear the wind at night   And know tha sometimes you can hear them weeping       The lonely ones   The lonely ones      And though you'd like to stop    You know it's wrong to stop   The night's too dark for you to ever reach them      The lonely ones   The lonely ones      As you drive on we drive faster   You try to leave the night behind you but wait   You hear them still   You always will      The lonely ones      Out on the edge of town   You start to turn around   But in your mirror you see the one who is crying      The lonely ones   The lonely ones   The lonely ones
