I haven't been there in some time
A stump where I would sit
And think into the night
My thoughts were seldom happy
My eyes were seldom dry
As I searched my mind for happiness
Beneath these lonely skies
-
I'm sure that there were stars
Shining up above
But, they're very hard to see
When you don't feel loved
And I'm sure that there were good times
Sometime in my life
But it seems they're all forgotten
Beneath these lonely skies
-
And I didn't see the moonlight
Though I'm sure it was there
On that stump, above the valley
I'd just sit and stare
And try to think of reasons
For me to stay alive
Or should I stay forever
Beneath these lonely skies
-
I haven't been there in a while
But, I'll go back again
And that will be the place
My life on earth will end
On that stump, up on the hill
I'll no longer need to cry
'Cause that will be my final resting place
Beneath these lonely skies
-
In death, as in life
I guess I'll be alone
And that stump up on the hill
Will serve as my tombstone
And those who really knew me
Will never wonder why
They'll never find this lonely man
Beneath these lonely skies
