A Lonely Song - Daniel Johnston
Written by:Daniel Johnston
Well you heard about the time
I climbed the empire state building
And you heard about the time
I was in the insane asylum
But I bet you never knew
What I went through
And what I had to do
Just to bring you
A lonely song
Well I try to do what's right
Every day and every night
And when I think I've won the fight
The monster comes back again
And I bet you never knew
What I went through
And what I had to do
Just to bring you
A lonely song
If you listen
Very hard
You can hear the desperation of a sad and broken heart
My heart
Well you heard about the time
But not all of it is true
And you've read the magazines
I've been wounded by folklore
But I bet you never knew
What I went through
And what I had to do
Just to bring you
A lonely song
Well I'll tell you right now
Just to set the record straight
I never meant no harm
Or to generate so much hate
But I bet you never knew
What I went through
And what I had to do
Just to bring you
A lonely song
