Here Comes Lonely

I drove a thousand miles to get here, some in the pourin’ rain
Passed semi after semi, on this-old two lane
I just can’t wait to see you, hope you’re lookin’ for me too
I see your house is empty and I hope – your heart is empty too.

Here comes lonely, here comes heart break back again
Underneath the shadows, is where your love has lived
On your mind, all the time, somewhere I’ve never been
Here comes lonely back again

Lookin’ at a high school picture, nineteen sixty-five
You signed it on my front porch, mom and dad were still a-live
We’d walk down my dirt lane, your hand held in mine
Feels like it was someone else or somewhere, in another place in time

Here comes lonely, here comes heart break back again
Underneath the shadows, is where your love has lived
On your mind, all the time, somewhere I’ve never been
Here comes lonely, back again

You moved all the way to Texas, I stayed in the hills of home
I never did get married, and start a family of my own
The words in your letter, came as such a big surprise
It’s hard to see the white lines on the the road through the teardrops in my eyes

There goes lonely never coming back again
Now we feel the sunshine it’s where our love began
On our minds all the time it’s where love has been
We’re together once again.
