Damien Dempsey - Not On Your Own Tonight lyrics

rate me

Walkin' through the city

I was as lonely as could be

I'm wanderin' in the night-time out in search of company

I feel real isolation

When all around me life

Familiar but unfriendly

Unfriendly with no choice

And, I can see the evil

But I can feel the good

Shining out to greet me

From within bone and blood

I'm throwin' off this loneliness

I can't stick it anymore

Only need myself tonight to open up that door

And I know that sometimes it gets so bad

But you're not on your own so don't be so sad

Cause if you feel real bad then you're not on your own tonight

Please don't be so sad cause you're not on your own tonight

Oh yeah yeah yeah,

You see I know the feelin'

Don't have to tell me nothin'

'Cos you know I know the feeling

Everybody seems to think it's they who bear the pain

They who bear the biggest cross

The loneliness and the shame

Day to day you suffer when you're livin' in your past

If you started livin' for the now you could free yourself at last

If you started living for the now, for yourself and those around,

Experience and celebrate the freedom that you've found

You could free yourself forever, and live life as you should

The choice is yours to take now cause I've said all that I could.

But I know that sometimes it gets so bad

But you're not on your own so don't be sad

Cause if you feel real bad then you're not on your own tonight

Please don't be so sad cause you're not on your own tonight

Well if you feel real bad then you're not on your own tonight

Please don't be so sad cause you're not on your own tonight

Oh yeah yeah yeah,

You see I know the feelin'

Don't have to tell me nothin'

You know I know the feeling

Well if you feel real bad then you're not on your own

Please don't be so sad cause you're not on your own

Tonight
