Tell Me Why You're Lonely (original)

Ruth has written some truly beautiful lyrics for this song. Read the words carefully - they are powerful. It is song about the passing of a loved one and of those who are left behind.

I must of been asleep for days,
Dreamt of Angels in the sea,
All the plans we'd ever made,
That night we left, you turned to say...

"Tell me why you're lonely,
Why you cry whole nights through,
I'm always there love,
My spirit is with you".

You made me glad to be a man,
Gave me everything I'd ever had,
Saw God's grace in your eyes,
You whispering love, please don't cry...

"Tell me why you're lonely,
When our son's always near
He'll always need you love,
He'll always be here".

You must of been asleep for weeks,
We held your hand, kissed your cheek,
All the plans we'd ever made,
Future fading, your last breath,
Tell me how to hope,
When he cries whole nights through,
He misses you love,
How can I be you?

Tell me why I'm lonely,
Why I'm stranded out at sea,
When you're always there love,
Your spirit walks with me.

What a beautiful song - I can see why you like the lyric Ken. Beautiful and powerful tune and performance - it has a Leonard Cohen vibe I think.
