[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt]
When I was a little boy way out in the the wood
I had neither friend nor toy, never knew I could
When I found this lonely road off I walked for good
When I was a little boy way out in the wood
[Chorus: Stephin Merritt & Shirley Simms]
Walk a lonely road with me, I will walk with you
Half as lonely we will be when we walk as two
If the road goes straight uphill we'll admire the view
Walk a lonely road with me, I will walk with you
[Verse 2: Shirley Simms]
When I was a little girl on the lonesome plain
I had neither pal nor pearl, mostly wind and rain
One day I set out along a little winding lane
When I was a little girl on the lonesome plain
[Chorus]
