Lonely Trip Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I see through the deception
And the river's flowing free
You may understand the reason why I'm drifting out to sea
And you may control the currents
As I drift in search of land
You may understand the reason when the water turns to sand

[Chorus]
So while you're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
While you're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last

[Verse 2]
When doors are all closed tightly
With words the only keys
You may understand the reason why I'm floating on the breeze
When I hear your voice responding
When no questions have begun
You may understand the reasons why I'm flying to the sun

[Chorus]
So while you're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
While you're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
[Outro]
So while we're on this lonely trip
Keep a watch for other ships
And if by chance our vessels pass
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last
Perhaps we'll finally meet at last

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
