"Lonely Day" lyrics - MATISYAHU

[Intro:]
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-ooh
A lonely day
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-ooh
A lonely day

When I was just a young son
I would sit in the tree of my front lawn
Dressed for combat with my Star Wars gun
I'd been watching movies bout Vietnam
When I was just a teen
On the golf course green, I took LSD
Saw my whole life right in front of me
So fresh so crystal clean
When I woke up the next day
With my boys drinking 40's smokin' jays
Back to normal but not for me
I had been graced by the face or at least
The back of the knot found myself in a place
I could not turn the plot, I could not turn away
That was a lonely day

[Chorus:]
That was a lonely, that was a lonely day
Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot
I could not turn away
That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day
Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot
I could not turn away

Couple years in Oregon, 19 when I found myself back again
Where I feel free in the city that's home to me
University place where I used to cop tree
In the square with my pen writing down everything
At the Nuyorican Poets Cafe
Seein' my reflection, staring back at me

[Chorus:]
That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day
Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot
I could not turn away
That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day
Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot
I could not turn away

[Bridge:]
That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day
I could not turn away
That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day
I could not turn away

Flash forward 15 years have gone by
Hair gone white but the well don't run dry
Magic in my mic that might make you cry
When the bass drop make you feel so fly
10 thousand hours, now I don't need to try
When I sink in, the body, it come alive
Just play the beat and the rest will fall in line
Interest I be growing like all of the time

[Chorus 2:]
That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day
I thought that was the only way
I thought that was the only way
Now all my days are no longer gray
Won't you send some love my way?
Send some love my way
Send some love my way

[Outro:]
(That was a lonely, that was a lonely, that was a lonely day)
(Now all my days are no longer gray)
(Won't you send some love my way?)
Send some love my way
Send some love my way
