Текст пісні
She sits by the phone
In the housecoat that she's always worn
At the kitchen table in the dark
Plays the old machine to hear him talk
He says leave a message at the tone
'Cause the two of them ain't home
She never thought she'd be here, 3 am, alone
The loneliness of love
She watched their children grow
Tiny fingers curled around her own
Kissed and bandaged every bruise and scrape
Until one day they just flew away
And she only tried to do her best
But now the heart once in her chest
Lives in their hands so far off the premises
The loneliness of love
The loneliness of love
The loneliness of love
A lifetime is never enough
The loneliness of love
She's packing up the car
Moving out to where the grandkids are
She'll kiss and bandage every bruise and scrape
Until one day they just fly away
You can't escape it, everybody wants love
Everybody needs it
Even when we know just how lonely it can leave you
