Two Sides of Lonely

Two Sides of Lonely
I had one chance to tell you I was worthy
As we stood between the graves in our town
And the dead folks sang their forgotten songs
As I watched your eyes stare at the ground
On the one hand you're hoping I'm lying
On the other you hope I'm a fool
And the wind blew all the leaves around you
As you watched all our dreaming come true

Two sides of lonely
One is heart, one is duty
Two sides of lonely
One's in the grave, and the other should be
We were alone together in Brooklyn
And the midnight snow fell in the park
And the cold wind crashed through the trees above us
As you watched the frost freeze our dead hearts
And the dead folks they hum all the songs that you sung
In the grave you died yourself when we were young
And the dead folks they sway back and forth to the drum
And the two sides of lonely
Laid to rest in their arms
You rock back and forth as the seasons
Changed just like your mind in the dark
And the nights you sleep you dream of me
And the love you let die
