Story Behind The Song

This song came to me in a dream -- the whole locks stock and barrel. Go figure. I am performing this in my dream and the base is real kicked up and people dancing -- I believe it was in a honky tonk.

Song Description

She denies she has any association with loneliness and despair, yet since her lover left she is being overwhelmed with their presence. She tries to subdue their presence with alcohol to no avail.

Lyrics

STRANGER CALLED LONELINESS
By Catherine Carney-Richman
(Verse 1)

I don?t like that stranger called Loneliness.

Please don?t invite that stranger over to my house.

And I don?t like his cousin called Despair

I know he?s not welcome anywhere

(Prechorus)

So I go to my good friend Walker

Who is a real good talker

Who tells me not to worry about a thing

But then I open the shades up

I see their making their way up to my front doorstep

(Chorus)

I don?t like that stra-nger called Loneliness

But since you left me, he?s becoming my new guest

And I don?t like his cou-sin called Despair

But since you?ve been gone he?s appearing everywhere


(Prechorus)

So I go to my good friend Stolies

Who helps me forget my worries

And instills in me my fears are just a fable

But then when I open the shades up

I realize the charade?s up

I notice them there sittin at my table

(Chorus)

I don?t like that stra-nger called Loneliness

But since you left me, he?s becoming my new guest

And I don?t like his cou-sin called Despair

But since you?ve been gone he?s appearing everywhere

Oh Lord please get these trespassers out of here.
