Valotte: Lonely

"Well, I mean, I wrote that one a couple of years ago (1982) when I first moved to London and I didn't really know anybody and there were all these people who were trying to give the impression that they were friends or whatever. It was that sort of time. I just felt, with all these friends or non-friends, that you're still on your own all the time, really, in that sort of situation."-Julian Lennon on "Lonely"

When I wake up in the morning
with the sun above my head
I pull the blinds down slowly
The room seems almost dead

And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again

I get up quickly,
like a flash of light
I put my clothes on,
neat and right
I work all day,
I work at night
When do I find out
what I'm doing right?

And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again

The time has come
when I need to change
I don't know what to do
I'm really restless
My nerves are breaking
The lying feeling's coming through

And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again

Lonely

Julian Lennon
