What good am I if I leave you lonely What good am I if I am lonely too What good is a one and only If that one and only is leaving you Am I losing you? Am I losing you? I know you're lonely too I walk to the land of sweet temptation Where the women come up from underneath What they offer is sweet as candy What they offer is no relief It's really no relief Over or underneath Yea, I want to keep my teeth I live in rooms where I'm a stranger Young women here now call me Sir My friends are other loan arrangers But you won't find us where we were Oh no not where we were It's just a fading blur Oh yea, they call me Sir True love is a welcome struggle The only one that's worth it's salt I want to say I caused that trouble I want to say it was my fault I want to say it was my fault What ever caused this bad direction? This attitude where darkness thrives Is it loneliness retained in sections Or from undetected sharpened knives All those sharpened knives From other people's lives Is that why the darkness thrives? A friend of mine, he taped the ocean So I could listen to the sea Locked inside this loud commotion Locked in the Land of the Free In the Land of the Free Was a gift for me The sound of the rolling sea Hope comes from the smallest places From little rooms inside the heart The furniture there bares the traces Of every successful start Unsuccessful start It's like a work of art The bottom of the heart
