He walks the streets late in the night To gather his thoughts When his heart’s too tired to fight Been blinded by love and the shadows it cast Wondering why he can never make it last He can’t understand what’s in the heart of a lonely man One thing he’s found true over the years Is how love can teach a man how do conquer his fears There’ll be no regrets when it stops to recall Just a bittersweet taste at the end of it all He’ll understand what’s in the heart of a lonely man Deep in his heart, there’s an emptiness it seems Without someone to share all his hopes and his dreams Who’ll understand what’s in the heart of a lonely man Interlude Deep in his heart, there’s an emptiness it seems Without someone to share all his hopes and his dreams Who’ll understand what’s in the heart of a lonely man Interlude He walks the streets late in the night To gather his thoughts when his heart don’t feel right Content to forget, but he’ll never forgive The love and the kiss for as long as he lives He’ll understand what’s in the heart of a lonely man
