Marion came over this morning with some lyrics and we put together two songs. This is the second of the two.
Lyrics
Loneliness (15 February 2025)
An old man watches the sun go down As he smiles at a memory About the girl he used to love Out in the wild country
An old lady many miles away
Writes a note to loneliness
Remembering
a young man’s kiss
They’re not together, it makes no sense
Loneliness will keep you company
When the one you love is gone
When love has all but forgotten you
Loneliness is the one friend you can count on
The world is full of lonely folk Full of lost and lonely souls Searching for a missing answer That each of them already holds
Loneliness will keep you company
When the one you love is gone
When love has all but forgotten you
Loneliness is the one friend you can count on
I really like when you go to the IV chord in the verse, it feels wonderfully early and unexpected. The vocal melody sounds really cool over that change for me.
