the strangest thoughts pass through my head
as the time for sleep arrives
as i wonder why i even have a bed
as i wonder if i don't dream how a dream survives
some may think it is ironic
some may not even think
some may think it is moronic
some may just turn to drink
some may laugh at thoughts like these
some may just scratch their balls
or like asking myself why i carry the phone around with me after midnight
when nobody ever calls…
even to the bathroom
even to the shower
wanting to share so much
in these late night hours
some may cry or feel pity
some may wonder how to cope
or like last minute decisions to take the laptop to the bathroom and the cords are all tangled, but there's hope…
the strangest thoughts pass through my head
as the time for sleep arrives
as i wonder why i even have a bed
as i wonder if i don't dream how a dream survives
wish i was not as alone in the world as i am
i don’t need anybody to be complete me
i don’t need anybody to be happy
but i have no family
and i do get lonely
and if i died tonight it might take days for someone to know
maybe even longer… and in this world, that is very alone
if i wake up in the middle of the night
feeling like i need a doctor immediately
i have no one to call
no one at all
if i get stuck in my car or it breaks down
and i need a quick pick up to get to work or anywhere
i have no one to call
no one at all
so i have 911
and i have road service
but that is still maybe too much on my own
cuz in this world, this is very alone
if i want a hug
it’s not happening
if i want someone to know how i really feel
no one is here, no one is there
no one is anywhere
no reassurance when i feel a little doubt
no one to care for me if i feel ill
don’t want to believe life is done
am i that nowhere man they wrote a song about?
or maybe i’m the fool on the hill…
writing a song for no one
or is it for someone
maybe it i do not let it end
somehow i will find a friend
who really cares?
who really loves?
who really does anything?
does god above?
who holds your hand
when you are scared?
who holds you close when you are lonely
is anybody ever really there?
who really cares?
who really loves?
who really lives in peace?
do white doves?
who dries your tear
when you are crying?
who calls you out
when you are lying?
who stands by you
when you are wrong?
who will not leave?
who sings your song?
who really cares?
who really loves?
who really would save you
who really does?
do you live in the mass delusions?
do you settle for the pretense?
do you run around in confusions?
do you hide behind a picket fence?
do you sit back and watch the wheels go 'round
wondering why you are alone?
do you forget your heart makes a sound
just to make it on your own?
is the loneliness so painful that
you settle for any attention
do you understand a word i say
or do you just feel apprehension?
who really cares?
who really loves?
who really dreams the dreams
that you are dreaming of?
who really cares?
who really loves?
who really knows you?
who fits like a glove?
who really cares?
who really loves?
who really does it?
who really does?
