Bert Jansch - I Am Lonely



Oh please understand, my love, what I say

I am lonely, I am lost

And though I be a young man, my body does decay

Like a wooden craft on a sandy bay

Come, bring to me a basket filled unto the brim

With coloured shells, and set them down

That I may choose but one

I am lonely, I am lost
