Loneliness
Well it’s the coat you wear
It’s a deep shade of blue
And it’s always there

The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you’re without love

Emptiness
It’s the place you’re in
With no more to lose but no more to win

The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you’re without love

Lonely,
Without you, baby
Oh, I need you
I can’t go on

The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore

The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore
