Lonely City Light

The city sleeps, a gentle hum,

beneath the silver moon Another day has come and gone,

a silent, soft tune

I sit alone, with thoughts that roam,

through empty, silent halls

A quiet ache, a lonely home,

behind these four grey walls

The laughter of

the distant crowd,

a faint and hollow sound

A world alive, both strong and proud,

while I am rooted to the ground

I watch the stars,

they seem so far,

each one a tiny spark Reflecting on the person I am,

lost here in the dark (oooh) 'Cause I never have anyone,

when the daylight starts to fade

Just the sound of my breathing,

in the quiet, self-made shade

And I wonder if this feeling,

this ache deep in my soul Will ever find an ending,

or simply take its toll Is there a place for me out

there, a hand to hold so tight?

Or am I meant to wander,

through this endless, lonely night?

I scroll through feeds,

of smiling faces, of lives so bright and bold

Wishing for those warm embraces,

a story to be told

A simple touch, a knowing glance,

a moment to truly share But all I find is circumstance,

and an empty, vacant stare

But sometimes, in a fleeting moment,

a sunbeam breaks through the gray A gentle breeze,

a forgotten scent, can chase the blues away

A simple song on the radio,

a memory soft and kind A tiny spark,

a hopeful glow, leaving loneliness behind

'Cause I never have anyone,

when the daylight starts to fade Just the sound of my breathing,

in the quiet, self-made shade

And I wonder if this feeling,

this ache deep in my soul Will ever find an ending,

or simply take its toll Is there a place for me out

there, a hand to hold so tight?

Or am I meant to wander,

through this endless, lonely night?

So I'll keep searching,

through the shadows and the light For that gentle hand,

to guide me through the night A quiet sound,

a promise in the air Hoping that someday,

someone will be there (someday...)
