Lonely Heart Of Mine
Ned Hill

These busy sidewalks are soaking wet-I’m dancing over puddles, trying to clear my head
So I duck inside this bar as the rain comes down
The jukebox’s playing “Lonely Ol’ Night”-and like salt in the wound from a bad bar fight
It hits me hard and I think I’m whiskey bound

Cause there ain’t no flame in a photograph
Feels as cold and dark as an old mine shaft
And how I wish that you were here tonight
To wrap your loving arms-around this lonely heart of mine

Like an old Mustang with a locked up engine-jack me up with some new religion
Pour a shot of hope and a pint of endless faith
I stepped up when you walked in-we’ve seen each other every now and then
And you sat next to me with that smile upon your face

The band cranks up in this shot gun bar
With some country blues daddy playing loud slide guitar
And I can’t hear a word you say-but it’s alright
Just wrap your loving arms-around this lonely heart of mine

Oh California-you took my girl with your clear blue water
And left me here alone in Tennessee-Oh baby

Cause there ain’t no flame in a photograph
Feels as cold and dark as an old mine shaft
And baby it’s just you and me tonight
So wrap your loving arms-around this lonely heart of mine
Please baby-wrap your loving arms-around this lonely heart of mine
Oh Darlin’-wrap your loving arms-around this lonely heart of mine
