The Lonely One Lyrics

Siouxsie & The Banshees The Lonely One

Happy in solitude
Secure there's no one to depend on
Scorning alms and good luck charms
Staring down to the rocks below

I was the lonely one
I didn't want no one

An odyssey so solitary
Carries you forth to collide with me
Recognized familiar signs
We're hypnotized on the turning tide

You were the lonely one
Who didn't want no one
I was the lonely one
I didn't want no one

Here I stand on the shifting sand
Waves of lassitude wash inland
The lonely cry of a seagull flies
Into my mind and recalls a time

When I was the lonely one
Who didn't want no one
You were the lonely one
No, we didn't want no one

Hear my hymn calling the lonely one
Hear my hymn for the lonely one
