I wrote this over the Christmas period which was cancelled owing to my wife contracting Covid.
Not sure if it's done, instrument wise.
My thanks to John Vaughan for giving me the first line of the chorus.

Lonely guys © Vic Arnold 2022
V1
A man needs some love and a sign from above when he's lonesome.
A house is home sweet home but can be a prison for some.
I loved a fine lady ... but now I have no one
I scratch my head, sometimes, wondering how come?
V2
Maybe I was too selfish ... for changing my old ways
Too busy to notice the pain that she hid in her heart.
Was it something I said on a cold, winter, grey day,
or something she didn't ... that broke us apart?

Lonely guys ... make the best lovers
Maybe that's right or it's wrong.
But they'll always be grateful , unlike the others,
who'll use up your love 'til it's gone.

I sent out a message in a bottle to sail on the high sea ... said:
"To those who'd come looking, put all your trust in the stars.
I'm thankful to anyone taking the time out to save me.
Asking for nothing but praying there's still life on Mars."
