rants and ramblings

Lonely afternoon

An old man walks along the path
It isn't raining anymore
The hotel sign reflects a pond
A lowery park below

A kid goes walking home from school
And stands there at the door
Behind the window people sit
Waiting for the bus to go

Another lone, lonely afternoon away from you
And a lone, dark lonely night ahead
It's been a lone, lonely afternoon
Here on my own
Such a long dark lonely night ahead

Heavy clouds are forming forth
Another dark and rainy night
A woman hurries home before
The storm begins to break

An as she turns to cross the street
Waiting for the walking light
She glances at her watch
Hoping she won't be late

Another lone, lonely afternoon away from you
And a lone, dark lonely night ahead
It's been a lone, lonely afternoon
Here on my own
Such a long dark lonely night ahead
