[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]
