The Saint of Lonely Hearts

When fate has seen you on the stage of life
(Resilient and repressed)
When angels receive you in their house of light
(Reinvented and distressed)
That is when we know that you're a hero
When you walk through fire and fear zero

Just like old blue eyes, you have gone your own way
On broken highways, you have made your name
And carved out sidewalks that
People now stand upon
'Cause true rebels walk alone
You're the Saint of Lonely Hearts

When life has got you in a stranglehold
(Fearful and depressed)
Your only friends are people that you owe
(And frankly they're under duress)
That is when you get down on your knees
(You get down on them)
And get release from your lonely heart's disease

Like John the Baptist, you have made the way
For the unbelievers and their restless hate
But still you cover them
Yes, you bury them with grace
You're the Saint of Lonely Hearts
The Saint of Lonely Hearts
