TONIGHT LONELINESS SURROUNDS ME
(Like the Dark of Night)
©Trev Teasdel Feb 1982 Middlesbrough – Piano song.
Sat at the table we sat last night.
Looking at the chair from where you looked at me –
Last night.
Wishing I could see you there now,
Loving eyes. Lovely hair.
It all serves to remind me how much –
I need someone nice like you to care.
Sat at the window where I watched for you.
Looking at the people looking at me,
looking for you.
Wishing I could see you there now,
Heart that love,. soul that cares.
It all serves to remind me how much –
I need someone nice like you to care.
Chorus
Last night it was the wine that was flowing
Tonight, it’s the tears that are flowin’
Tonight, loneliness surrounds me,
Like the dark of night.
Sat on the edge of love awaiting your return.
Looking inside my soul as my feelings burn.
Wishing I could see you there now,
Words so tender, lips that heal.
It all serves to remind me, how much,
I need someone nice like you to care.
Bridge
Just a tender word, in my ear would ease my fear.
People say such ugly things and in my mind it rings and rings
But just a tender word from you can make loneliness stand up and sing.
