Gordon Lightfoot
Clouds of Loneliness
[Verse 1]
What can you do?
You'll never win
Where will you go
When night closes in?
Where will it lead?
Will it ever end?
Where will it stop?
Losing a friend isn't

[Chorus]
What we had in mind exactly
All we need is a friend I guess
With my midnight star to guide through
Clouds of loneliness

[Verse 2]
You knew someone
But was it love?
So many years
Push came to shove
You had a dream
So they had one too
You turned away
They were untrue
[Chorus]
In our early days we were too willing
At the time we had yet to arrive
Many a man and a woman found
Trying to stay alive

[Verse 3]
Where will you go?
What will you do
When your whole world
Ain't talking to you?
Maybe you think
You will see the light
Maybe you'll find
What you hope is right

[Chorus]
And I'm all dressed up to be somebody
All I need is a friendly face
With my midnight crowd to glide through
Clouds of empty space

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Seems like every time we turn around
What we see could be anyone's guess
Many a man and a woman found in
Clouds of loneliness
