Darryl Atherton - Lonely Ellie Lyrics

Lonely Ellie sits by the window trying to quieten the voices in her head
The walls of her apartment now define her world
Days of freedom now confined by solitude instead
She used to be happy carefree now lives inside her head I'm told

Her circle of friends gone she has had to say goodbye
Caused by this deafening noise inside her head
Wants to leave this solitude doesn't know how to try
This fear that burns inside makes her wish that she was dead

Days of depression becoming darker she is finding
No one around to help feels she can only flounder
The isolation shown through empty eyes is blinding
If only she could get some help the days would be sounder

Lonely Ellie sits by the window trying to quieten the voices in her head
The walls of her apartment now define her world
Days of freedom now confined by solitude instead
She used to be happy carefree now lives inside her head I'm told

By chance Ellie is spotted in the window by a saviour
Someone who recognises desperation in her eyes
To give her a chance to change her behaviour
To free her from captivity and listen to her cries

Lonely Ellie no longer sits by the window voice no longer in her head
The walls of her apartment no longer define her world
Days of freedom have replaced the solitude instead
Now happy carefree no longer lives in her head I'm told
