Van Morrison - Meaning Of Loneliness Lyrics
Lost in a strange city, no where to turnFar cry from the streets that I came fromIt can get lonely when you're trav'ling hardBut you can even be lonelyStandin' in your own backyardNobody knows the existential dreadOf the things that go on inside someone else's headWhether it be trivial or something that Dante saidBut baby, nobody knows the meaning of lonelinessNo matter how well ya know someoneYou can only ever guessHow can you ever really know somebody else?It takes more than a lifetimeJust to get to know yourselfNobody knows the meaning of loneliness(Instrumental & sax)I have to say a word about solitudeFor the soul it sometimes, they say can be goodAnd I'm partial to it myself, and well I must confessNobody knows the meaning of lonelinessWell, it's Satra and CamuNeitche and HessIf ya dig deep enough you're gonna endUp in distressAnd no one escapes havin' to live lifeUnder duressAnd no one escapes the meaning of lonelinessWell, they say keep it simpleWhen it gets to be a messAnd fame and fortuneNever brought anyone happinessI must be lucky, some of my friends thinkThat I'm really blessedNobody knows the meaning of lonelinessNo-no-no-no-no-noNobody knows the meaning of lonelinessNo-no, no-ooh body knows the meaning of lonelinessNobody knows the meaning of loneliness.
