It's a long way to nowhere and I'm leaving very soon
On the way we pass so close to the back side of the moon
Hey join the traveler if you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand it's the only road I know

Oh, lonely is the word, yeah yeah yeah!

I've been higher than stardust, I've been seen upon the sun
I used to count in millions then, but now I only count in one
Come on join the trav'ler if you got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand it's the only road I know

Yeah, lonely is the word
Got to be the saddest sound I've ever heard

Yeah, lonely its the name
Maybe life's a losing game?
