| | | Artist: | VAN MORRISON |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Meaning Of Loneliness | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 299 | | | | Lyrics: | (Van Morrison)
Lost in a strange city
Nowhere to turn
Far cry from the streets
that
I came from
It can get lonely
When you're travelling hard
But you can even be
lonely
Standing in your own back yard
Nobody knows the existential dread
Of the
things that go on inside
Someone else's head
Whether it be trivial
Or something that
Dante said
But baby nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
No matter how well you know
someone
You can only ever guess
How can you ever really know somebody else?
It takes
more than a lifetime
Just to get to know yourself
Nobody knows the meaning of
loneliness
[Instrumental break]
I have to say a word about solitude
For the
soul it sometimes they say can be good
And I'm partial to it myself, well I must
confess
Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
Well there's Sartre and Camus, Nietzsche
and Hesse
If you dig deep enough
You gonna end up in distress
And no one escapes having
to live life under duress
And no one escapes the meaning of loneliness
Well they say
keep it simple when it gets to be a mess
And fame and fortune
Never brought anyone
happiness
I must be lucky
Some of my friends think that I'm really blessed
Nobody knows
the meaning of loneliness
[Scatting and instrumental break]
No, no, no, no, nobody
knows the meaning of loneliness
No, no, no, nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
Nobody
knows the meaning of loneliness
[The published lyrics include the following
verses:]
Bright lights, big city nowhere to turn
Far cry from the streets where I was
born
I've been doing some travelling
Sometimes the road gets hard
