Analysis of loneliness - oh, loneliness
Markus Kiener 1960 (Regensdorf)
loneliness - oh, loneliness
why is your world my only thoughtfullness
don't you know or can't you see
that your kind of freedom is in fact prison to me
loneliness - oh, loneliness
now you have heard I long for togetherness
so come and see and set me free
from your prison where I am but I don't wish to be
I knoe it isn't your duty
to lend a helping hand
but I'm sure you will have some pity
when you try to feel my stand
loneliness - oh, loneliness
isn't it foolish to speak of our helplessness
though we know and we can see
is our inabilty to act sometimes the only way to be
