Lambert
Lonely, have you ever felt lonely
Like you're floating on a deep sea
And the world is somewhere else?
And when you're trying to disguise it
It only makes it deepen
Trying to pretend will only weigh you down
Cold steel
Cold, cold steel
Searching, is this why everybody's searching
Looking to the sky
To try to touch a star
And when they get it in their hand
They never want to lose it
They get a monkey on their back and a pocketful of sand
Good times, I heard about the good times
I read it in a book
It sounded alright
But then I thought I saw a stranger
So I had to give chase.
She stabbed me in the back with a smile across her face

I'll have to hear this one more time before I rate it. Never heard it before, but remember liking it during this particular set of songs. |

| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Aug 12, 2008 - 21:58 I lke it. |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Jun 10, 2008 - 18:34 I don't know this one. Something caught my attention and it turned out to be the Strawbs. Something compelling about it. |
