Soft and Lonely

Half the world away your mind has fallen into a groove
And I know that you have often wondered just what you should do
When that girl before you smiles, you laugh, she turns and says she needs to go
And you just don’t know if what they say is true
She’s soft and lonely, tender and only into you

With a promise to herself she wakes up each and every day
With her make-up, silky clothes, and sweet perfume
Will he pull her close and shelter her from wind and stormy seas
Or is she doomed to drown, oh, Lord, if you only knew
How soft and lonely, tender and only into you

And when you feel the Sun, you fall into an open sky
And when you feel the rain, you’re drenched in a summer shower
You feel her power as the petals of a flower fall to the ground
She loves me, she loves me not, does she love me today
She loves me, she loves me not, what more can I say
It’s so hard to be lonely, tender and only into you

She’s soft and lonely, tender and only into you
It’s so hard to be lonely, tender and only into you
