The Saint of Lonely Hearts

When fate has seen you on the stage of life

(Resilient and repressed)

When angels receive you in their house of light

(Reinvented and distressed)

That is when we know that you're a hero

When you walk through fire and fear zero



Just like old blue eyes, you have gone your own way

On broken highways, you have made your name

And carved out sidewalks that

People now stand upon

'Cause true rebels walk alone

You're the Saint of Lonely Hearts



When life has got you in a stranglehold

(Fearful and depressed)

Your only friends are people that you owe

(And frankly they're under duress)

That is when you get down on your knees

(You get down on them)

And get release from your lonely heart's disease



Like John the Baptist, you have made the way

For the unbelievers and their restless hate

But still you cover them

Yes, you bury them with grace

You're the Saint of Lonely Hearts
