I sit and stare, an empty chair
Another day without you
Each one for me can only be
Another day without you

The tick and tock of every clock
Seems too long
No good and bad
When all you have is gone

I put the street beneath my feet
So not to think about you
But every sound and every sight
Unlocks a picture of you

Each memory a rush
Of joy and pain
If only I could
Hold you once again

But this is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
There ain't no lights to tell you not go

And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows
The lonely road

And if we laughed and if we cried
We did it all together
It never once crossed my mind
We wouldn't last forever

One mistake
That's all it takes and then
You turn around
You're on your own again

But this is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
Ain't no lights to tell you not go

And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows
The lonely road

One mistake
That's all it takes and then
You turn around
You're on your own again

This is the lonely road
This is the lonely road
No signs to lead you home
Ain't no lights to tell you not go

And nowhere is the only place that it goes
The only place that everybody knows
The lonely road

That's lonely road
It's a long winding road
Don't make me walk it all alone
That's long, long road
