Thoughts of a Lonely Man - Shafer

In the world that you would make up With unicorns and buffalo backs I know that you would wake up With the sunny side touching your back Is it the lonely man of Christmas? Coming up with theories on him Is it the lonely man of Christmas? He's riding in the devil's abyss Oh, I would write the future If I could put a finger on it But I have no idea If what I want is better than this Is it the lonely man of winter? I could put my finger on that Is it the lonely drive to Denver? The loneliness of Hoppington's hat Is it the time we spent in silence? Time will tell what winter he had Is it the lonely man of winter? I could put my finger on that And even if it's Christmas Could we just pretend for a bit That everything we went through Was someone else's carpenter kiss

He walked down the lonely road Always thinking that he owned the land Walking over everything Think it's time the devil got his hand Sign the contract, am I clear? Do you understand the rules I lay? He looked in the devil's eyes And all his problems gone away today You see the lonely days are gone Hear it in my song I had trouble in my life, but now it's gone away I can see the sunlight rising, heading over me Think my life is going my own way, oh, yeah See the devil gave me everything Everything is closing in 'Cause I'm living in a life of shame Devil gave him everything Woman, money, cars, power and fame I don't know how to escape the game Wish I never met him on that day Now it's taking over me And I can feel the demons call my name You see the money days are gone Hear it in my song I had power in my life, but now it's gone away I can see the demons crawling, coming after me I'm alone, I think I'm going insane, oh, no Oh, the devil's gonna break you down See the lonely days are gone Hear it in my song I had trouble in my life, but now it's gone away I can see the sunlight rising, heading over me Think my life is going my own way, oh, yeah Ooh, lonely man Ooh, lonely man Ooh, lonely man Ooh, lonely man Ooh, lonely man Ooh, lonely man Ooh, lonely man Ooh, lonely man
