Lyrics That's What The Lonely Is For - David Wilcox

That's What The Lonely Is For

The depth of your dreams, the height of your wishes
The length of your vision to see, the hope of your heart
Is much bigger than this
For it’s made out of what might be
Now picture your hope, your heart’s desire —
As a castle that you must keep
In all of its splendor, it’s drafty with lonely
This heart is too hard to heat
Chorus:
When I get lonely ah, that’s only a sign
Some room is empty, and that room is there by design
If I feel hollow — that’s just my proof that there’s more
For me to follow — that’s what the lonely is for
Is it a curse or a blessing this palace of promise
When the empty chill makes you weep
With only the thin fire of romance to warm you
These halls are too tall and deep
Chorus
But, you can seal up the pain, build walls in the hallways
Close off a small room to live in
But those walls will remain, and keep you there always
And you’ll never know why you were given… why you were given the lonely
Some room is empty
If I feel hollow that’s just my proof that there’s more
For me to follow — that’s what the lonely is for
From the deep of your dreams, the height of your wishes
The length of your vision to see, the hope of your heart
Is much bigger than this
For it’s made out of what might be
Chorus
