So Lonely - Tim Buckley

Oh, I don’t get no letters

Nobody calls

Nobody comes 'round here no more

No pretty ladies

Nor pretty boys

Nobody comes 'round my door no more

It’s just lonely

Mama, you don’t know

It’s just lonely

Mama, you don’t know

Cops treat ya dirty

And the children are mean

This is the lowest town I’ve ever seen

People keep draggin'

Their bodies around

Ain’t enough pride to even look around

It’s just lonely, mama

Honey, you don’t know, just don’t know

It’s just lonely

Mama, you don’t know how

I’m lonely

Mama, you don’t know

It’s just lonely

Mama

Now honey, you got

On little light

Now you keep it burning

Burning bright

If you keep it

Lit every night

Someday a good man

Come and make it alright

But it’s so lonely, mama

Darlin', you don’t know, just don’t know

It’s so lonely, mama

You don’t know
