Lyrics

Lonely Game (words and music by Alan Gillis)
Chorus
The road goes on forever, every mile's the same
On and on it has no end
And life's a lonely game - A lonely game

The night time lasts forever, never turns to day
The wind is blowing colder
And my life's a lonely game, a lonely game

Verse
I've been spending my time looking for you love
I've still got you on my mind
And I know I'm wasting my time procrastinating

Driving all night and day losing my way love
'cause I've got you on my mind
Wishful thinking it's you I'll find, find you there waiting

Bridge
I've still got on my mind
I know I'm wasting my time
Wishful thinking it's you I'll find
Find you there waiting

Chorus variation

The road goes on forever, every mile's the same
On and on it has no end
And life's a lonely game, a lonely game

The night time lasts forever never turns to day
I'll never find another you
And life's a lonely game, a lonely game
