Lonely and Afraid

I'm lonely and afraid

When the night brings no peace

And tears run down my face

in the dark

Lonely and afraid

when I'm weary of hoping for

someone to come along

in my heart


We're all dying

But we're not dead yet

We're all crying

or filled with regret


I'm wistful and dreamy

hoping for salvation

when the day is hot and

burdensome

I'm wistful and dreamy

thinking of another time

a time of innocence

a time of fun

We're all dying

But we're not dead yet

We're all crying

I'm filled with regret
Lonely and afraid

Wondering where to run to

Wondering what to say

Each to each his own

Better left unsaid

Better off alone

Still I'm lonely and afraid

ever wandering

never home.
