Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Man, we was lonely

Yes, we was lonely

And we was hard pressed to find a smile

Man, we was lonely

Yes, we was lonely

But now we're fine all the while

[Verse 2]

I used to ride on my fast city line

Singing songs that I thought were mine alone (Alone)

Alone

Now, let me lie with my love for the time

I am home (Home)

Home (Home)

Home

[Verse 3]

Man, we was lonely

Yes, we was lonely

And we was hard pressed to find a smile

Man, we was lonely

Yes, we was lonely

But now we're fine all the while

[Verse 4]

Now, let me lie with my love for the time

I am home (Home)

Home (Home)

Home

[Verse 5]

Man, we was lonely

Yes, we was lonely

And we was hard pressed to find a smile

Man, we was lonely

Yes, we was lonely

But now we're fine all the while

[Verse 6]

But now we're fine all the while

But now we're fine all the while
