Tonight Loneliness Surrounds Me from Trev Teasdel on Vimeo.

Sat at the table we sat last night

Looking at the chair from where you looked at me-

Last night.

Wishing I could see you there now,

Loving eyes. Lovely hair.

It all serves to remind me how much –

I need someone nice like you to care.

Sat at the window where I watched for you.

Looking at the people looking at me

looking for you.

Wishing I could see you there now,

Heart that loves. Soul that cares.

It all serves to remind me how much –

I need someone nice like you to care.

Chorus

Last night it was the wine that was flowing

Tonight it's the tears that are flowin'

Tonight loneliness surrounds me like the dark of night

Sat on the edge of love awaiting your return

Looking inside my soul as my feelings burn

Wishing I could see you there now,

Words so tender, lips that heal

It all serves to remind me how much,

I need someone nice like you to care.

Bridge

Just a tender word in my ear would ease my fear.

People say such ugly things and in my mind it rings and rings

But just a tender word from you can make loneliness stand up and sing.

Although it was on Songs From the Coventry Underground, I wrote this shortly after moving to Middlesbrough to do my degree. The house I rented had a piano,which was handy.
