Album: The Rapture
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
