and attacks at lowly hours
It begins there in your heart
spreads through your body then
right up to your thoughts and feelings
your muscles and your body spent
Then extra hard it works
on to your own good health
picking at your very being
Stealing from your heart and wealth
Lonliness can surely kill
Sadness starts it out
beginning as a little voice
Then fills you full of tears and doubt
No longer can you bear the thought
Of another lonely day
Sadness whispers in your ear
you absence will make it all OK
