"Lonely Time" lyrics

"Lonely Time"

Tell me I could live without you
Tell me that the good times roll
Tell me I could live as half a man
Loving you is what made me whole
There was a time when I could sing to you
I live for the light that I could bring to you
But I sat down to sing a lonely song
God knows I never thought that it could last so long

Now all the day's dressed in gray
They come home to stay
And they laid their cold arms all around
Graveyard flowers lost in gray showers
All my leaves are turning brown
The way home is all I need to know
All I hear is, "I told you so"
The time has come to find me now
The time has come to teach you how

'Cause all you need is love to find me
Well, you don't need a fine-tooth comb
If I'm lost in the dark, you just turn on your heart
You can leave those dogs at home
'Cause it don't take much for me to see the light
A loving touch makes you shine so bright
It don't take much for me to see you coming
Just turn on that light, yes, you know I'll come running

Yeah, all you need is love to find me
And you don't need a fine-tooth comb
If I'm lost in the dark, you just turn on your heart
You can leave those hounds at home
'Cause it don't take much for me to see the light
A loving touch makes you shine so bright
It don't take much for me to see you coming
Turn on that light, yes, you know I'll come
I'll come running
