Lyrics

Well your days are full of passion, but your nights are filled with rain.
It`s like your flying down to Rio, but your coming back by train.
And your face just keeps on smiling, but your stomach`s tied in knots.
The saddest looks come over you when you`re full of happy thoughts.

Happiness eludes you, people tell you so.
And all those crazy things you`ve done,they will never know.
They`ve never felt this way inside, this crazy mixed-up thrill.
They don`t know what your feeling, and they never will.

And all these contradictions are racing through your mind.
You keep your eyes wide open but you act as though you`re blind.
The simple truth is something you find hard to understand.
Seems like Love and Loneliness walk hand in hand.
__________________________________________________

Well you waken in the dead of night, and you sleepwalk through the day.
You open up your mouth to speak, but you`ve got nothing left to say.
And in your dreams you see the face, that a thousand times you`ve kissed.
But you never get a second glance, she does`nt know that you exist.

And all those silly people with their heads deep in the sand.
Well their ignorance betrays them because they just don`t understand.
From Coast to Coast and North to South all across this land.
Seems like Love and Loneliness walk hand in hand.
__________________________________________________________________

And the Angels will protect you if you believe in everything.
If your God will not desert you, you will promise anything.
But when the music starts to play the Angels will not sing.
I think Love and Loneliness are one and the same thing.

And all those silly people with their heads deep in the sand.
Well their ignorance betrays them because they just don`t understand.
From Coast to Coast and North to South all across this land.
Seems like Love and Loneliness walk hand in hand.

John has a wonderful, heart-rending quality to his voice and a rare gift for creating emotionally evocative melodies.
