Lonely I see

Lonely I need

Lonely I feel

Lonely I bleed

Lonely I trust

And lonely I must

Be the rose with the broken neck

The plow on the farm

The train on the track

The tracks on my arm

The train in the wreck

That's when they all sing this song

About when you are all alone

In your home with the broken neck

Help myself to a drink

Help myself to the sink

The dogs start to moan

And the crows start to beg

At my eyes and down at the ground

Oh and it shows

On the rose with the broken neck

Lonely I see

Lonely I need

Lonely I feel

And lonely I bleed

Lonely I trust

And lonely I must

Be the rose with the broken neck
