Lyrics So Lonely - Tim Buckley

So Lonely

Oh, I don’t get no letters
Nobody calls
Nobody comes 'round here no more
No pretty ladies
Nor pretty boys
Nobody comes 'round my door no more
It’s just lonely
Mama, you don’t know
It’s just lonely
Mama, you don’t know
Cops treat ya dirty
And the children are mean
This is the lowest town I’ve ever seen
People keep draggin'
Their bodies around
Ain’t enough pride to even look around
It’s just lonely, mama
Honey, you don’t know, just don’t know
It’s just lonely
Mama, you don’t know how
I’m lonely
Mama, you don’t know
It’s just lonely
Mama
Now honey, you got
On little light
Now you keep it burning
Burning bright
If you keep it
Lit every night
Someday a good man
Come and make it alright
But it’s so lonely, mama
Darlin', you don’t know, just don’t know
It’s so lonely, mama
You don’t know
