Sometimes A Lonely Way

Not everyone you've abandoned

Is still standing by

Not everyone who is lost is

Wondering why



Sometimes a lonely way

Taking your name down from the Jumbotron

Find a new place to stay

And a new home for the trumpeter swan



We can see it now, the scratches

On the back of the door

We can see it now, no mistaking

What you're better for



Sometimes a lonely way

Taken alive in an uncivil war

Trophies and glass displays

Rehearsals for third place, forever more



Not everyone you've abandoned

Is still standing by

Not everyone who is lost is

Wondering why



Sometimes a lonely way

Taking your name down from the Jumbotron

Find a new place to stay

And a new home for the trumpeter swan
