A
I'm raising up my voice
         Asus2           E
To the walls and to the sky
E
It seeks no explanation
         Esus4        A
It waits for no reply
A
Really it is nothing
Asus2                  E
Just a cry to the wilds

(Same as above......)
I'm delerious with chaos
I'm wonderstruck with awe
But in my soul I'm dreaming only
Of your velvet shore
When I'm walking there my face
Untangles like a childs

C#m               G#m
And only the lonely
C#m           A(bar)     F#m
Only the lonely
C#m                 B(bar)
Lonely could know me

I've been talking all night long
There's nothing more to say
So I'm searching every mirror
For a trace of yesterday
But the air it holds no traces
Where the eagles were flying

I'm haunted by the skyline 
The concrete and the rain 
The window speaks of winter 
So I'll set my heart again 
And somwhere in the dusk, a curlew is crying 
And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me

There's a copper moon thats buried
Where solitude expands
And distant planets moving
They're weighing on my hands
They're darkening my pages

And there's daylight in my fingers
But it's snowing in my bones
Been sucking on the echo
Of a thousand telephones
And when we meet again
We will be strangers

And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me

I'm talking all night long
