van morrison – meaning of loneliness lyrics
(van morrison)lost in a strange city
nowhere to turn
far cry from the streets that
i came from
it can get lonely
when you’re travelling hard
but you can even be lonely
standing in your own back yard
n-body knows the existential dread
of the things that go on inside
someone else’s head
whether it be trivial
or something that dante said
but baby n-body knows the meaning of loneliness
no matter how well you know someone
you can only ever guess
how can you ever really know somebody else? it takes more than a lifetime
just to get to know yourself
n-body knows the meaning of loneliness
[instrumental break]
i have to say a word about solitude
for the soul it sometimes they say can be good
and i’m partial to it myself, well i must confess
n-body knows the meaning of loneliness
well there’s sartre and camus, nietzsche and hesse
if you dig deep enough
you gonna end up in distress
and no one escapes having to live life under duress
and no one escapes the meaning of loneliness
well they say keep it simple when it gets to be a mess
and fame and fortune
never brought anyone happiness
i must be lucky
some of my friends think that i’m really blessed
n-body knows the meaning of loneliness
[scatting and instrumental break]
no, no, no, no, n-body knows the meaning of loneliness
no, no, no, n-body knows the meaning of loneliness
n-body knows the meaning of loneliness
[the published lyrics include the following verses:]
bright lights, big city nowhere to turn
far cry from the streets where i was born
i’ve been doing some travelling
sometimes the road gets hard
