about

“Lonely Was His Name” from the Carl Funk With Vanilla - EP

lyrics

LONELY WAS HIS NAME

I met a ghost on a coal black road
Lonely was his name
He stared at me with empty eyes
Lonely was his name
Who are you? I asked him twice
Lonely was his name
The sky grew dark with rain and ice
Lonely was his name

Excuse me sir
We must leave this world
And it’s pain
Your time is nigh
You have no choice
To remain

The cemetery calls us all
Lonely is its name
The jail is full from wall to wall
Lonely is its name
The homeless camp, the weathered tramp
Lonely is its name
The place you find yourself tonight
Lonely is its name

Excuse me sir
We must leave this world
And its pain
Your time is nigh
You have no choice
To remain

Echo chamber, silence falls
Lonely is its name
That wasn’t god’s voice after all
Lonely is it’s name
That wasn’t god’s voice after all
