The Nights Are Lonely

The nights are lonely

When you’re in the other room

There’s not much else that I can do

Other than to cry

All by myself

I cry

Every night

The nights are lonely

Your side of the bed

Remains empty

The covers don’t do much justice

They’ll never be warm, like your touch is

God damn!

The nights are lonely

I am all who I have left

To hold me

Oh,

The nights feel so,

So lonely
