Lonely Afternoon Lyrics
Well, the silence in this houseIt echoes in this houseI pull myself together, say"Today I will get out"The world, it changed without meYou should hear what I've been toldThe streets I see are blasphemyLined with paper cups and goldAnd in some dream, I thinkThat every word I dare to speakSomeone's always leaning over meLean all over meA giant vision in the distanceChase that rainbow downI hear a pound, pound, pounding in my chestI hear a knock, a knocking soundIt's the slivers flowing through my veinsIt's a sign that I'm aliveYou're lucky, oh my friend, so luckyYou're lucky just to be aliveAs words go turning byI wish they'd all come clearIn this roomAnother lonely afternoonI can count the lonely daysI get by, as they go byStanding in the stairway by this roomBy this room(They've held me down for long enough;Like a flower, I need to grow)The frail and tender heartBeen shipwrecked with a foolFeeling so abused, well, sometimesLife can be so cruelAnd the ones who make decisions for youWell, they better understandBut you don't know what made me think of thatLonely afternoon
Bob Mould Lonely Afternoon
