where the streets have no name

I remember when these guys were considered "bad" and "hard rock"... hehe. how times have changed since grade 3. However, i love this song, so i thought i'd post the lyrics. I think so many people feel this way. I know i do sometimes. Its easy to say that there's no need to be lonely when you have Jesus, and i know that's definately the Sunday School answer, and true in many respects, but there's also the basics of the human relationship minefield that you have to navigate that can be heartbreaking.

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's f***** up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I know that I'm married so maybe that makes this comment irrelevant...but this song really resonates in my mind as well. Maybe loneliness follows us forever in one way or another. At least as long as we're here in the shadowlands.

carie, whenever you're feeling lonely, i'll have a hug for you. or a good smack on the ass. either way, Batty doesn't mind loaning me out for that sort of thing.
