And Charlie Chance
Mocks castles in the air
And - bang - romance
It rocks his cradles of despair

Only the lonely
Homely sentiment
Only the lonely
Only my detriment

I not gonna see you anymore
And I am cryin'
I don't want to see you anymore
But I might be lyin'

Miss Hard he hunts
Her sikhs will not suffice
Bad Batter bunts
Willy Meek speaks of self-sacrifice.
His muse sick, it pays
How much now cost is the balance
The musician prays
'Cause his touch now is lost as his talents

I'm not gonna see you anymore
And I am cryin'
I don't wanna see you anymore
But I might be lyin'

No, I know. Oh! Now, I won't let go
Oh, I know. I won't let you go

And Charlie Chance
Makes castles in the air
And - bang - romance
It breaks his cradles of despair

Only the lonely
Blowing leaves in the gusts
Only the lonely
Loathing leaves disgust

I don't wanna see you anymore
And I am cryin'
I don't wanna see you anymore
But I might be lyin'
