Lonely Sinking Feeling

She says, "I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,

you know what I mean?"

With his hand on her back he's thinking,

"Where does that leave me?"

"Just when I think I've uncovered the secret

to peace and tranquility

that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me."



He says, "I'm seeing those doubt filled

questioning eyes

and I can't believe it's true."

With her head in her hands she sighs,

"It's me, not you."

"Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy

of loving one so completely

that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me."



Here in this silent room we wait on ancient ritual.

Staring at our hearts

as if they were two caged animals.

If I am the first to unlock those rusty doors

will I be the first found bleeding on the floor?



She says, "I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,

you know what I mean?"

With his hand on her back he's thinking,

"Where does that leave me?"

"Just when I think I've uncovered the secret

to peace and tranquility

that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me.

Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy

of loving one so completely

that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me.

that lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me."
