Strawbs Cold Steel lyrics

Lonely, have you ever felt lonely
Like you're floating on a deep sea
And the world is somewhere else?

And when you're trying to disguise it
It only makes it deepen
Trying to pretend will only weigh you down

Cold steel
Cold, cold steel

Searching, is this why everybody's searching
Looking to the sky to try to touch a star
And when they get it in their hand


They never want to lose it
They get a monkey on their back
And a pocketful of sand

Good times, I heard about the good times
I read it in a book, it sounded alright
But then I thought I saw a stranger

So I had to give chase
She stabbed me in the back
With a smile across her face
