Happy in solitude Secure there's no-one to depend on Scorning alms & good luck charms Staring down to the rocks below I was the lonely one I didn't want no-one An odyssey so solitary Carries you forth to collide with me Recognised familiar signs We're hypnotised on the turning tide You were the lonely one Who didn't want no-one I was the lonely one I didn't want no-one Here I stand on the shifting sand Waves of lassitude wash inland The lonely cry of a seagull flies Into my mind and recalls a time When I was the lonely one Who didn't want no-one You were the lonely one No we didn't want no-one Hear my hymn calling the lonely one Hear my hymn for the lonely one
