loneliness can be terrible but someone's reaching out |
Alone I watch you wander down the road Head bent, back bowed I watch you drift upon the lake No sail, no wake I see the sparkle in your eyes Buried beneath the pain I hear the words of carefree youth Covering up the strain I hear the sweet tones in your voice Tremble with confusion I feel the touch of fingertips Lightening quick illusion I know the passion of your soul Mired in despair I watch you drifting and alone Waiting without care I only need a line To catch and anchor thee I only need a hand To guide and succor thee I wait and wonder do you see And try to catch your eye I stand alone in silent tears Hands useless by my side I know there must be some way To bring you to my arms I wonder how to reach you And keep you from all harm You speak throughout the day and night Yet never share your heart You touch me with your hands and lips Yet keep your self-apart You let me walk along with you Yet never take my hand You hide behind a mighty wall Within a dreary land I cannot walk on water And have no map to share So patiently I wait for you To give a sign you care Then I may help you build a bridge Or help you find a path To bring us to each other’s side To help us close the gap I want to share my love with you I need to know you care I want to make your pain my own I need to know you’re there |
