I sit and stare, and empty chair, another day without you
each one for me, can only be, another day without you
the tick and tock of every clock seems so long
no good and bad when all you have is gone
I put the street beneath my feet, so not to think about you
but every sound and every sight unlocks a picture of you
each memory a rush of joy and pain
if only i could hold you once again!
This is the lonely road
this is the lonely road
no signs to lead you home
there's no lights to tell you not go
and nowhere is the only place that it goes
the only place that everybody knows
the lonely road.
And if we laughed and if we cried we did it all together
it never once crossed my mind it wouldn't last forever
one mistake, that's all it takes and then
you turn around, you're on your own again
This is the lonely road
this is the lonely road
no signs to lead you home
there's no lights to tell you not go
and nowhere is the only place that it goes
the only place that everybody knows
the lonely road.
