Loneliness - Bette Davis

Loneliness

Takes the romance out of falling stars

Fills the wishing wells and fills the bars

Run and hide the scars of loneliness

Loneliness

Makes the winter’s night seem as twice as long

Makes the summer’s sunlight much too strong

Nothing’s really wrong, it’s only loneliness

So still awhile, we both have stories that are hungry to be told

Your eyes are warm, but I can feel your hands are cold

Still they’re nice to hold

It only takes a simple yes

The time we spend leaves that much less for loneliness

Like a love song or an old cliché

Has its hideout, but it’s never to far away

Look around, you found it’s only loneliness

So still awhile, we worn the night away and now it’s almost done

If you could stay, a bit of breakfast might be a little fun

Too much work for one

And though it’s just a simple jest

We’re stronger now, we’ve made the best of loneliness

Waits in silence while the shadows groan

Waits and wonders if it’s finally time to go

The yes in our hello said no to loneliness

Loneliness
