Happy in solitude
Secure there's no-one to depend on
Scorning alms & good luck charms

Staring down to the rocks below

I was the lonely one

I didn't want no-one

An odyssey so solitary

Carries you forth to collide with me
Recognised familiar signs
We're hypnotised on the turning tide


You were the lonely one
Who didn't want no-one

I was the lonely one
I didn't want no-one


Here I stand on the shifting sand
Waves of lassitude wash inland
The lonely cry of a seagull flies

Into my mind and recalls a time

When I was the lonely one

Who didn't want no-one
You were the lonely one
No we didn't want no-one


Hear my hymn calling the lonely one
Hear my hymn for the lonely one
