Lyrics So Lonely - Tim Buckley

Oh, I don't get no letters
Nobody calls
Nobody comes 'round here no more

No pretty ladies
Nor pretty boys
Nobody comes 'round my door no more

It's just lonely
Mama, you don't know
It's just lonely
Mama, you don't know

Cops treat ya dirty
And the children are mean
This is the lowest town I've ever seen

People keep draggin'
Their bodies around
Ain't enough pride to even look around

It's just lonely, mama
Honey, you don't know, just don't know
It's just lonely
Mama, you don't know how

I'm lonely
Mama, you don't know
It's just lonely
Mama

Now honey, you got
On little light
Now you keep it burning
Burning bright

If you keep it
Lit every night
Someday a good man
Come and make it alright

But it's so lonely, mama
Darlin', you don't know, just don't know
It's so lonely, mama
You don't know
