Lyrics

Little Lonely Girl

Little lonely girl
For all the wide wide world
Another traveller lost tossed upon the sea
And in her nervous hands
Shattered pieces of the plans
Of all that she was ever meant to be
And only I can see
And only I can see
I can see, but I cannot set her free

Now her heart no longer sings
And her painted paper wings
Won't lift her up and carry her away
Waiting for its turn
Her hurting heart it yearns, it learns
To hide itself a guilty stowaway
And I wish that I could say
I wish that I could say
The words to call her out "Come out to play."
A charm to turn her nighttime to day

Come on now let's begin
You reach out and I'll reach in
Come on out into the light of day
Come on now don't be sad
There's so much more to be had
Little lonely girl don't hide your heart away

So far from home
So lost and so alone
Where it all went so wrong
It seems so long ago
Was she reaching for the sky?
Was she told and sold a lie?
When to give her heart
That somehow she would know
If only it were so
If only it were so
But the only love she knows, it comes and goes

Life is a lonely road
And a heart is a heavy load
Was it all just a dream could she leave it all behind?
Afraid to let it show
Afraid to let it go
And every day is just a day, just a way of killing time
So I'm sending her a sign
And I’m sending her a sign
From heart to heart I'm throwing out a line
'Cos the heart can show a heart the way to shine

Come on now let's begin
You reach out and I'll reach in
Come on out into the light of day
Come on now don't be sad
There's so much more to be had
Little lonely girl don't hide your heart away


(Ad lib and fade)
