  • It's not your eyes
    It's not what you say
    It's not your laughter that gives you away
    You're just lonely
    You've been lonely, too long

    All your actin'
    Your thin disguise
    All your perfectly delivered lies
    They don't fool me
    You've been lonely, too long

    Let me in the wall, you've built around
    And we can light a match and burn it down
    Let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flame
    In front of us
    Dust to

    You've held your head up
    You've fought the fight
    You bear the scars
    You've done your time
    Listen to me
    You've been lonely, too long

    Let me in the wall, you've built around
    And we can light a match and burn them down
    And let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames
    In front of us
    Dust to dust

    You're like a mirror, reflecting me
    Takes one to know one, so take it from me
    You've been lonely
    You've been lonely, too long
    We've been lonely
    We've been lonely, too long Writer/s: JOHN WHITE, JOY WILLIAMS
