Strawbs - Cold Steel lyrics

Lambert 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
