Lyrics
[verse]
I journeyed far to a foreign shore
Wearing a uniform I hadn't worn before
I'm all alone in this crowded place
Missing the touch of a familiar face
[chorus]
They call me Mr. Lonely
I'm Mr. Lonely
I long to hear a voice that used to be my home
But I'm Mr. Lonely
So Mr. Lonely
I'm a soldier far from everything I've known
[verse]
The letters come but not so fast these days
I count the hours through the empty gray
At night I dream of the porch light on
And waking up to find that dream is gone
[chorus]
They call me Mr. Lonely
I'm Mr. Lonely
I long to hear a voice that used to be my home
But I'm Mr. Lonely
So Mr. Lonely
I'm a soldier far from everything I've known
[bridge]
Someday soon this road will bring me back
To the porch light and the old dirt track
Till then I'll carry on somehow
Wishing I was there with you right now
[chorus]
They call me Mr. Lonely
I'm Mr. Lonely
I long to hear a voice that used to be my home
But I'm Mr. Lonely
So Mr. Lonely
I'm a soldier far from everything I've known
