From the recording The Pickle Jar
Lyrics
Hello loneliness, shall I sing you a tune
Or together we’ll sit and we’ll howl at the moon
My bones know your aching oh so well
And you’re always nearby as far as I can tell
Please make yourself comfortable
I’m not the best host but my pillows are full
There’s soup in the cupboard and freshly baked bread
And I know how much you love to hide in my bed
So Ok, we’ll have it your way
Have a cup of tea while you lean into me
Well ok, we’ll have it your way
And I’ll try to smile cause it looks like you’re gonna be around for a while
You’re welcome to stay as long as you like
I’m not gonna try to build up a dike
Whenever I do you come crashing through
And all the rocks I carefully stacked make me black and blue
So wash over me and I’ll drink you down
Let’s see what happens when I’m willing to drown
Pushing you out has never worked
So here I am, Hello
And ok, we’ll have it your way
Have a cup of tea while you lean into me
Well Ok, we’ll have it your way
And I’ll try to smile cause it looks like you’re gonna be around for a while
And ok, we’ll have it your way
Have a cup of tea while you lean into me
Well Ok, we’ll have it your way
And I’ll try to smile cause it looks like you’re gonna be around for a while…
Hello loneliness shall I sing you a tune
Or together we’ll sit and we’ll howl at the moon
My bones know your aching oh so well
And you’re always nearby as far as I can tell so
Wash over me and I’ll drink you down
Let’s see what happens when I’m willing to drown
Pushing you out has never worked
So here I am, Hello.
