Black Bess in white light
All covered in blue
She trips out on the c*****e 'cause there's nothin to do
Since her man an' his gland
They up an' shot through
You lose most in lovin'
You win only a few
Time Lord it drags heavy on me
Sad evenings alone and my thoughts are on she
I fear that down here you seldom can see
Do you have an idea what lonely can be
His delight at the sight
Of a worn apple skin
Goes with his hat in his hand
To the next rubbish tin
He's consoled by the role
That his bottle will bring
Means as much to his being
As a throne to a king
Time Lord it drags heavy on me
Sad evenings alone and my thoughts are on she
I fear that down here you seldom can see
Do you have an idea what lonely can be
See he with his ego
On his own shadow fall
Saw a caged man with his bare hands
Bust through a brick wall
For 45 years of his life
He had shorn
Then he wakes up one mornin' to find his life gone
Time Lord it drags heavy on me
Sad evenings alone and my thoughts are on she
I fear that down here you seldom can see
Do you have an idea what lonely can be
Frankie's Vietnam was spent dodgin' lead
But eventually the enemy blew off his head
His weight was a feather as we carried him in
One half of a friend
They sent home in a tin
Time Lord it drags heavy on me
Sad evenings alone and my thoughts are on she
I fear that down here you seldom can see
Do you have an idea what lonely can be
