I Am Lonely

I Am Lonely - Bert Jansch

Oh please understand my love what I say

I am lonely I am lost

And though

I be a young man my body does decay

Like a wooden craft on a sandy bay

Come bring to me a basket filled unto the brim

With coloured shells and set them down

That I may choose but one

I am lonely I am lost

Oh please understand my love what I say

I am lonely I am lost

And though I be a young man my body does decay

Like a wooden craft on a sandy bay

Come bring to me a basket filled unto the brim

With coloured shells and set them down

That I may choose but one

I am lonely I am lost
