She says, 'i'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,
You know what I mean? '
With his hand on her back he's thinking,
'where does that leave me? '
Just when I think I've uncovered the secret
To peace and tranquility
That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me

He says, 'i'm seeing those doubt filled
Questioning eyes
And I can't believe it's true'
With her head in her hands she sighs,
'it's me, not you'

Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy
Of loving one so completely
That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/cowboy+junkies/lonely+sinking+feeling_20033663.html ]
Here in this silent room we wait on ancient ritual
Staring at our hearts
As if they were two caged animals
If I am the first to unlock those rusty doors
Will I be the first found bleeding on the floor?

She says, 'i'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,
You know what I mean? '
With his hand on her back he's thinking,
'where does that leave me? '

Just when I think I've uncovered the secret
To peace and tranquility
That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me

Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy
Of loving one so completely
That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me
That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me
