Loneliness Comes

Verse 1

Staring at the ceiling of this rented little room

Watching how the shadows weave a tapestry of gloom

The tea is getting cold and the biscuits taste like dust

Everything I thought was gold is turning into rust

I’m looking for your face in the smoke of my cigarette

But some things in this life, you’re just better to forget

Verse 2

The pub across the street is finally locking up its doors

I’m still hearing footsteps on these creaky wooden floors

The streetlights start to flicker like they’ve got a mind to speak

About the promises we made when our resolve was weak

I don’t need your pity and I don’t need your advice

I’ve paid the heavy toll, yeah, I’ve paid the bloody price

Pre-Chorus

And it creeps through the cracks without making a sound

Tucking me in while the world’s spinning 'round

You know that it’s coming, you know that it’s here

Chorus

Oh, loneliness comes like the rain on a Sunday afternoon

Washing out the colors of a life that ended far too soon

It doesn’t ask for much, it just wants to be a friend

Sitting right beside me while I wait for it to end

Yeah, loneliness comes... and I think I’ll let it win

Verse 3

Maybe come tomorrow I’ll find the strength to leave

Wear a different soul upon my tattered leather sleeve

But for now I’ll let the radio play a static tune

While I’m howling like a stray at a disappearing moon

There’s no use in rushing, there’s no point in the chase

Pre-Chorus

And it creeps through the cracks without making a sound

Tucking me in while the world’s spinning 'round

You know that it’s coming, you know that it’s here

Chorus

Oh, loneliness comes like the rain on a Sunday afternoon

Washing out the colors of a life that ended far too soon

It doesn’t ask for much, it just wants to be a friend

Sitting right beside me while I wait for it to end

Yeah, loneliness comes... and I think I’ll let it win

Bridge

Don’t ask me when it’s finally gonna go

Whatever happens, I’m the last one to know

It’s part of the fabric, it’s part of the skin

It’s just where I end and where you begin

Chorus

Oh, loneliness comes like the rain on a Sunday afternoon

Washing out the colors of a life that ended far too soon

It doesn’t ask for much, it just wants to be a friend

Sitting right beside me while I wait for it to end

Yeah, loneliness comes... and I think I’ll let it win

Outro

It’s coming again

Just let it in

Loneliness comes

Yeah, it always does

It always does...
