Eric Woolfson - Lonely Song (Love Can be Lonely Too) lyrics

Crossroad of my life

Point in all directions.

Each way there lies a river I must cross.

One road leads to fame, one road leads to fortune.

One road says: "Turn back or love is lost".

And where do I go now?

Who is there to turn to?

Everyone needs some help along the way.

Some consult the stars, others find their reasons.

Some are confused and they end up running away.

What do you see, wise men who read the stars?

What do you know of love,

Half way between the moon and Mars?

Flying so high, nothing to spoil the view.

Maybe too wise to know

Love can be lonely too.

If fortune were my goal, fame was my ambition.

Why am I so afraid to face the crowd?

Hiding from them all, by my own admission,

Scared in case they call my name too loud.

And where does that leave me?

Older but no wiser,

Listening to what my empty voices say.

I'm living in a world going round in circles,

Frightened to move or I end up running away.

What do you know, lovers who reach the sky?

What do you see of stars

Gazing into each others eyes?

Flying so high, far from the world you knew.

Too much in love to know

Love can be lonely too.

Love can be lonely.

I'm living in a world going round in circles,

Frightened to move or I end up running away.

Far, far from the world I knew,

Just as it all seemed clear,

Just as a light came shining through.

Now, mountains obscure the view.

Why did they have to say

Love can be lonely too?

Love can be lonely.

So I end up running away.

So I end up running away.

And I'm always running away.
