Only Lonely from In Tongues by Bob Lefevre & the Already Gone

Built it up then set the flame, to burn like the house of sticks we made
And when the hook and ladder came, said there ain't a soul to save
We sat out in the street, to sort through the smoke and the memory
And I remember every hall through every home we ever made

New eyes to look into, the face of a friend that you barely knew
If you were here I'd turn to you, and ask if you knew her name
Is there a hand I can hold a while, to push back the cloud that's been hangin' round me
Done again and I'd wish you well, if it all went down the same

Stopped clocks and broken doors, don't take us where they did before
When the ghosts still knew my name
And they might need to see I'm only lonely
But I love you just the same

Wind went and blew it down, like the house of cards we built around it
Torn hearts and dog eared spades, all scattered across the plain
And like a falling man, I stumble as I chase my hands
Bent double, and moving fast to catch them before it rains

Stopped clocks and broken doors, don't throw us like they did before
When the ghosts still knew my name
And I might need to see I'm only lonely
To love you just the same
But I love you just the same
