Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can go to the east to find your
Your inner hemisphere
You say we're under the same sky, babe
You're bound to realize, honey, it's not that clear
I'm not your promised land, ah, oh no
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of Canaan, oh sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun
[Chorus]
I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
Waiting your love, and you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
[Verse 2]
Well, the meaning's changed
For what it's worth
It's just a senseless game, ah
Well, I should think of a love
But it's fear every time I hear
Honey, your heartbeat strain
It's not the fallen man, honey, ah
It's not the call of time
It's just the London skyline, oh sweetheart
Telling me you're not mine
[Chorus]
I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
Wanting your love, and you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
[Verse 3]
My blood is running dry, my skin is
My skin is growing thin, oh yeah
For every time you find yourself
You lose a little bit of me, honey, from within
It's just a raging cycle
Why can't we bring it all to the end of the line?
From inside this existence, oh sweetheart
Time is not on my side
[Chorus]
I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love, and you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
[Chorus]
I'm not your promised land
I'm not your promised one
I'm not your promised land
Not your promised one
[Outro]
I'm not the land of Canaan, sweetheart
I'm not your land of, oh, oh, baby
I'm not the land of Canaan, sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun
I'm lonely tonight
