Lonely Blue Boy

Lyrics

My name should be trouble

My name should be woe

'Cause trouble and heartaches are all that I know

Oh oh, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name

My heart has been empty

My life has been torn

It must have been raining the day I was born

Oh oh, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name

I'm so afraid of tomorrow

So sick and tired of today

They say that love is the answer

But love never came my way

I'm writing this letter to someone unknown

And if you should find it and if you're alone

Oh oh, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name

Oh oh, lonely, lonely blue boy is my name
