Ok so I missed a lined and then whispered it in after... Love this one Geoff :-)
LONELY IS A NOWHERE PLACE
@Geoff61
VERSE
Are looking for the perfect love
But you aint found her (him) yet.
Well don’t go wasting precious years
On broken dreams or past regrets.
I’m happy but I’m not that strong
To hold this weight alone
So can you put your trust in me
Is that something you could condone?
CHORUS
Cos lonely is a nowhere place
Where nobody should be
Lonely is a sacrifice
That no-one here should see
Lonely is an echo
Lonely is a nook
High upon a rocky crag
Where no-one ever looks
Lonely is an option
Lonely is bereft
Lonely is a lack of warmth
That someone lost or left
Lonely is a number
And the number’s one
Lonely is a nowhere place
Where dreams become undone.
VERSE
I could make the waters crystal clear
I could make your skies turn blue
Shelter you from passing storms
There is no end to what I’d do.
We all need a voice of reason
A forcefield for the good
Let me be your sanctuary
Oh how I wish so that you would
CHORUS
Cos lonely is a nowhere place
Where nobody should be
Lonely is a sacrifice
That no-one here should see
Lonely is an echo
Lonely is a nook
High upon a rocky crag
Where no-one ever looks
Lonely is an option
Lonely is bereft
Lonely is a lack of warmth
That someone lost or left
Lonely is a number
And the number’s one
Lonely is a nowhere place
Where dreams become undone.
MIDDLE
‘I love you more than I can say’.
Please say those words to me
‘I want you till the end of time’.
Well that would be a fantasy
‘You are my one and only’.
Would be so nice to hear.
‘Come take me in your loving arms’.
Is a precious thought that I hold dear.
CHORUS
Cos lonely is a nowhere place
Where nobody should be
Lonely is a sacrifice
That no-one here should see
Lonely is an echo
Lonely is a nook
High upon a rocky crag
Where no-one ever looks
Lonely is an option
Lonely is bereft
Lonely is a lack of warmth
That someone lost or left
Lonely is a number
And the number’s one
Lonely is a nowhere place
Where dreams become undone.

Wonderful treatment of Geoff's melancholy lyric. Starting it with the 'middle' part was a great idea, but confusing when looking at the lyrics as shown!
@cindyrella Feb 2022
How special this is! You've captured the words and made them so gorgeous!
