God speed on your journey overseas
Into the path of the sun
And while you're away spare a thought for me
Cause I'll be the lonely one
You say that my leaving doesn't mean
We've been together too long
What it does mean however is till
Your here
I'll be the lonely one
Come away with me won't you
I can hear A voice in the distance yell
And when I look up to see if it
Could be you
I see that it's only myself
I'll be the lonely one
Some say that it's easy to forget
The further it is that you run
What I'd like to say is when your not here
I'll be the lonely one
I'll be the lonely one
And I won't try and reach you
There's no point
You never return my call
If I do leave a message I guarantee
It won't be acknowledged at all
God speed on your journey overseas
Into the path of the sun
And while you're away
Spare a thought for me
Cause I'll be the lonely one
Yes, I'll be the lonely one
