someone to be lonely with

when I wake up at 3am, I need someone to be lonely with,
under my breath, under my skin, someone to be lonely with..
I lost my way, I lost my place, I need someone to be lonely with
a momentary fall from grace, someone to be lonely with,I was thinking aloud, thought I’d figured it out,
now I don’t know, no, I don’t know
all the usual doubts, my mind gets cloudy
I don’t know, no, I don’t know..
but I would trade my soul, & my good name
for someone to be lonely with,
I’ve got no one but myself to blame,
I need someone to be lonely with..
I was thinking aloud, thought I’d figured it out
now I don’t know, no, I don’t know
all the usual doubts, my mind gets crowded,
I don’t know, no, I don’t know..
when I have burned my pack of days, when I have nothing left to say,
will I find love, or pine away for someone to be lonely with?someone to be lonely with, I need someone to be lonely with…

Love your website, but I had only skimmed it so far when I saw these Great words. I haven’t tried to download it 4 a # of reasons. You are SOOOOOOO special. Laugh in the LIGHT,
This is still my absolute favorite song of yours. I’m so happy that I stumbled upon it years ago and asked you to play it. Thank you so much because I now understand the meaning of that song.

thanks, Leslie!
you played an important part in bringing this song back into the active repertoire (and onto the new CD, which you could, um, pick up! :] )
This is a lovely song - bonus points to Leslie for bringing it back! I would also like to mention, however, that I have been conducting a not-so-surreptitious campaign in support of ‘No Surprise’ in the same vein for quite awhile. I’m just saying…
You make an excellent point, Erin!.. I need to find a way to get some of those “oldies, but goodies” out into the world, for sure.
