To listen to Song for the Lonely, click here
In
the halls of total darkness where the women sit and wait
For
some angel of compassion who will open heaven’s gate
Ah
you cannot have Adonis, you can’t win the holy dove
Yet
we all need a body to love
Yes
we all need a body to love
A
body we can lie in, we can do the deed and die in
Yes
we all need a body to love
Now
I’m not one for imploring I’m not one to say please
No
man ever won a woman on his broken bended knees
But
the thunder clouds are roaring here’s my ark and here’s the flood
And
we all need a body to love
Yes
we all need a body to love, yes we all need a body to love
When
the darkness comes to get you, with its nails and fisted glove
We
all need a body to love
Now
I may not be Tom Cruise and I may not be Brad Pitt
But
lady in the darkness I’m a man I’m what there is
And
you’d rather have Bruce Willis in a Silver Cloud Rolls Royce
But
he ain’t got my youth he ain’t got my golden voice
And
we all need a body to love, yes we all need a body to love
From
the clinches down below to the clichés up above
We
all need a body to love
Yes
we all need a body to love, yes we all need a body to love
An
incident of tenderness in this world of push and shove
Yes
we all need a body to love
