[Verse 1]
Happy in solitude
Secure there's no-one to depend on
Scorning alms and good luck charms
Staring down to the rocks below

[Chorus]
I was the lonely one
([?])
I didn't want no-one

[Verse 2]
An odyssey so solitary
Carries you forth to collide with me
Recognized familiar signs
We're hypnotized on the turning tide

[Chorus]
You were the lonely one
([?])
Who didn't want no-one, ooh
I was the lonely one
([?])
I didn't want no-one

I was the lonely one
([?])
I didn't want no-one
[Verse 3]
Here I stand on the shifting sand
Waves of lassitude wash inland (wash inland)
The lonely cry of a seagull flies
Into my mind and recalls a time

[Chorus]
When I was the lonely one
([?])
Who didn't want no-one
You were the lonely one
([?])
No we didn't want no-one

[Outro]
Hear my
Oh, hear my
Hear my hymn calling the lonely one
Hear my
Oh, hear my
Hear my hymn for the lonely one
