Lorraine's Song (My Heart Was a Lonely Hunter) Lyrics

Yesterday I had a dream...
I could fly through the sky...
Then I woke up in a sweat...
Not dead yet, But on the ground
I'm up in Johnson City Tennessee
looking for the wind in me
Lord fly me over Pontchartrain
back to the land of sugarcane and summer-rain

Nevermore shall we part.... Nevermore shall we part

A little girl was early told
that life was time and time was gold
she took a little everyday till it went away
and she was old
and she cried cause her gold was gone
and she cried for she was all alone
And I'm hunting with a lonely heart
crying nevermore shall we part, shall we part....
Nevermore shall we part... Nevermore shall we part

And all those words that I never said
gently bled from my mouth
and I am ready to embrace.... this place.. where I belong

I'm afraid that I need to love
If I don't I'm gonna fly

And I'm calling to you in the dark
just a hunter with a lonely heart, a lonely heart...

Nevermore shall we part... Nevermore shall we part
