Loners Lament by Thomas K. HuntThere’s nothing to do but mess around downtown
People pass you by you hear the strangest sounds
Buying junk, selling snow, it’s everywhere you go
So I sit on a park bench biding my time
Read the newspaper and sip a little wine
Think about all the friends that I know
I wonder where they all go
Baby won’t you sit with me for a while
I won’t be unkind
I only need someone to make me smile
And to help to ease my mind
I promise I won’t fall in love with you
Cause love is so unkind
It leaves you with an empty feeling
And heartache most all the time
I used to think it was a friend of mine
Oh my god some changes can hurt a man
Send him through pain and sorrow again
Make him feel that he’s that much less
And shake his confidence
Baby don’t you fall in love with me
I’ve had many loves before
They always seem to take a part of me
And believe me there’s not much more
No, I’m not what you’re looking for
Lalalalalalala
I’m tired of chasing my dream and coming up empty
And hurts so badly inside to see you leave me Rosie
Cause this time I thought I had found it
Yes, this time I thought it was for sure
But this time turned out like all the other times
I’m left alone standing at the door
To me you were someone who’s special
Not just a lover but a friend
I can’t believe that it’s over
Please tell me this can’t be the end
Cause this time I thought I had found it
Yes, this time I thought it was for sure
But this time turned out like all the other times
I’m left alone standing at the door
I’m so alone standing at the door

it broke into another tune and worked quite well....
