Travel a lonely road Bid an empty town, goodbye No one to leave behind No one to wonder why Stay on that lonely road And if you see a stranger smile Offer to make believe Linger a little while What can you lose pretending? Spending time now and then No more than one more ending Sending you back again Back on that lonely road Where you stumble, there you fall But one day your star will rise Shining from someone's eyes Someone who's lonely And wants only you to share Their lonely road What can you lose pretending? Spendin' time now and then No more than one more ending Sendin' you back again Back on that lonely road Where you stumble, there you fall But one day your star will rise Shinin' from someone's eyes Someone who's lonely And wants only you to share Their lonely road
