Lyrics

There's a full moon sky hanging over me
And I can hold the world in the palm of my hand
There's a tinted station on the radio
I don't have to say a word, she understands
I am a loner
Yeah, hold me close before I slip away
I am a loner
But it doesn't mean that I don't wish I could stay
She came from somewhere down in Mexico
Yeah, while I was doing time in Monterey
And she has a past and man it's cost her
Oh, but if I could wash it all away today
I am a loner
Yeah, hold me close before I slip away
I am a loner
But it doesn't mean that I don't wish I could stay
Was your mattress made in heaven?
Did your sheets conceal a spark?
As you lie awake by moonlight
Crying in the dark
Did your dreams turn into nightmares?
Was that hunger hard to feed?
Lord, I wish that I could have been there
Then you'd find that I was me
She calls me early in the morning
Yeah, she knows she knocks as long and hard as me
And I get by with next to nothing
Oh man, nothing
At the best I'll ever be, that's me
I am a loner
Yeah, hold me close before I slip away
I am a loner
But it doesn't mean that I don't wish I could stay
Alright
