Jesse Winchester - Lonely for a While Şarkı Sözleri

I guess I took an awful lot for granted
I thought everyone was on the square
I thought if you give love
Then you get love in return
After all, that seems only fair
But you revolutionized my way of thinking
Now I have a whole new style
I don't burn with desire
I don't go near the fire
I think I'll just be lonely for a while

I see the happy couple in the cafe
Doing like all happy couples do
I'd warn them if I could
But it would do no good
Their world is only big enough for two
So let the lovebirds have their sweet illusions
It's best if I just walk on by and smile
I hope their love is real
I miss the way they feel
But I think I'll just be lonely for a while

O so much for love
I'm fine on my own
How'm I gonna miss
Something I've never known?

I know, I know you never should say never
Cause who knows what tomorrow holds in store
One day love may find out where you're hiding
But you can't find what you're not looking for
So may I have a table in the corner
Or anywhere, just nowhere near the aisle
And yes, it's just myself
No, there'll be no one else
I think I'll just be lonely for a while

I hope their love is real
I miss the way they feel
But I think I'll just be lonely for a while
