Here come lonely days   It's like taps being cut off on Saturday night   Here come lonely days   I've been wishing that I wasn't such a parasite      I dialed your number 20 times   And I know that it ain't wrong   Lately it occurs to me   This time you're really gone   I'm so lonely      Here come lonely nights   I've been sending out distress signals   Morse code and the light   Here come lonely nights   This bed's become an ocean, and there is no land in sight      Suddenly it dawns on me   This time you're really gone      You know all my secrets   You know all my crimes   My degree of treason   And my sick state of mind   But your love is like a cannon   Ripping through the dark   Once I used to stagger   Now I've learned to walk   And I'm so lonely      Jesus, Jesus   It's my hour of pretense   I pray it would be followed by heartfelt repentence   My cranium's a battlezone   Break on through the compound and take no prisoners      Lately it occurs to me that You were never gone   When I'm lonely
