Under the moonlit sky
Where leaves take their final flight
He is there, counting the times
He waited in the endless night
For someone who could see
His pure heart hiding somewhere
Behind his clothes, old and dirty
Where nobody was ever there
Just one more lonely heart under the stars
One more cry that echoes so far
They're wondering if they'll see the light
And if they'll take the long way home tonight
A cold and vicious breeze
The bitterness falls to her knees
Disturbing whispers saying "Please
I wanna lay you down with ease"
Those words she cannot hear
Over the grunts that fill her ears
Soon they will quickly disappear
Leaving a capital souvenir
Just one more lonely heart under the stars
One more cry that echoes so far
They're wondering if they'll see the light
And if they'll take the long way home tonight
They wait for one more day to end
So they can dry their shameful tears
Believing that tomorrow won't be the same
But who is there to blame
When the dusk is clearing
Just one more lonely heart under the stars
One more cry that echoes so far
They're wondering if they'll see the light
And if they'll take the long way home tonight
