Pure Prairie League - Nothing Like The Lonely lyrics

(Craig Fuller/Scott Parker/Carol Parker)

Somewhere down that lonely track

There's a lover leaving and she won't be back

There's a heart that's breaking as the sun goes down

And the silence of goodbye is such a lonely sound

And as for heartache, I been there before

I've been left knocking outside love's door

Been high and dry, confined to solitary

Just as cold as the wind out on the prairie

But that ain't nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Well it might come close, but not quite

If the sky lost the stars, and the stars lost their light

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

So I begged the sky for just one cloud

To send the rain pouring down

But if all the angels cried a million tears

And they never let up for a million years

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Well it might come close, but not quite

If the sky lost the stars, and the stars lost their light

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Well it wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Well it might come close, but not quite

If the sky lost the stars, and the stars lost their light

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
