Lyrics

You can go to the east
To find your, your inner hemisphere
You say we're under the same sky
Baby, don't you realize
Honey, it's not that clear?
I'm not your promised land (Honey, you know that I'm not)
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of Canaan, oh, sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun

I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight (Ooh yeah)

Well, the meaning's changed
For what it's worth, it's just a senseless game, yeah
Well, I should think of a love
But it's fear еvery time I hear
Honеy, your heartbeat strain
It's not the fallen man (Honey, you know that it's not)
It's not the call of time
It's just the London skyline, oh, sweetheart
Telling me you're not mine
I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight (Ooh yeah)

My blood is running dry, my skin is
My skin is growing thin (Skin is growin' thin), oh yeah
For every time you find yourself
You lose a little bit of me (You lose a little bit)
But honey, it's from within now (You lose a little bit)
It's just a raging cycle (Just a raging cycle)
Why can't we bring it all to the end of the line? (Tell me, baby)
(Like to bring it to the end)
From inside this existence (I'm lonely tonight)
You know sweetheart
Time is not on my side

I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight (Ooh yeah)
I'm not your promised land (I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised one (Honey I'm trying)
I'm not your promised land (To tell you that I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of Canaan (I'm lonely tonight), oh, sweetheart
I'm not your land of Canaan (I'm lonely tonight), oh, sweetheart
I'm not the land of Canaan, sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun
I'm lonely tonight
