Emptiness

I'm lonely
Feeling kind of lost
My body aching
Like a tempest tossed
Around in a tea pot
I try to drown my tears
But it isn't working
And the worst of all my fears
Is that when the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
No one is loving
In my loving cup
A tall dark stranger
By some prearrangment
Will take my hand
And lead me to the land
Of Emptiness

I'm frightened
I've forgotten how to sing
Since there'e no one to listen
Even when my telephone rings
It's just a wrong number
Guess I'll just hang up the line
Trip out and fall
Lossing all sense of space and time
The winds came up
And the rain came down
Grayness settled in all around
Come tomorrow
Dressed in sorrow
Loneliness will pass
Haunted by the midnight laugh
Of Emptiness

I called him
Cause only he would spare the time
And the inclination
To be more than a friend of mine
But I'm not sorry
It works out better this way
Then suffering years of neglect
Who would suspect
I'd accept my sun going down
And my moon coming up
To find no one loving in my loving cup
The fateful hand
Of that strange dark man
Closing my eyes for me
Allowing me to see
Emptiness

No, I won't resist
His frigid kiss
At least he will pretend
To love me til the bitter end
Of Emptiness
