NOBODY WANTS A LONELY HEART

NOBODY WANTS A LONELY HEARTSitting here with my son, Early, as he plays me some of his much loved songs. This song is by Arthur Russell. Full of a strange joyful melancholia, uplifting music, on the edge of tears! Just beautiful, time with my boy, and some gorgeous music. Love Susie. x

Nobody Wants a Lonely Heart


Now as you eat

Don't think of the one you love

And on the street

Don't look at the sky above

If there's no one home

Don't expect nothing

'Cause nobody wants a lonely heart

Now like a dog

Who's homeless and can't be sleeping

Like a log

He knows that's he's best off keeping out of sight

Don't expect nothing

'Cause nobody wants a lonely heart

And in the door

There's nobody coming through it anymore

But I'm looking through it to some other way

Don't expect nothing

'Cause nobody wants a lonely heart

Nobody wants a lonely heart

Now as you eat

Don't think of the one you love

And on the street

Don't look at the sky above

If there's no one home

Don't expect nothing

'Cause nobody wants a lonely heart
