Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
I gave in to selfish ways
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away

Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
While I recall all the words you spoke to me

A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Before long they waste away
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again
We all need that person who can be true to you
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Well, some search never finding a way
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

I found you, something told me to stay
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed

Can't help but wish that I was there, back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
There's no one here while the city sleeps and all the shops are closed
