about

Vanilla takes a dark turn down the haunted byways of American folk with our friend and long-time collaborator Carl Funk. “Lonely Was His Name” touches on the twilight time of light, dark, life and death… and is the fourth song on the ever-growing Vanilla “Sideshow" album. Gather ‘round my dear friends, the voice you’ll hear isn’t God’s voice after all…

lyrics

I met a ghost on a coal black road
Lonely was his name                                 
He stared at me with empty eyes
Lonely was his name
Who are you? I asked him twice
Lonely was his name
The sky grew dark with rain and ice
Lonely was his name

Excuse me sir
We must leave this world
And it’s pain
Your time is nigh
You have no choice
To remain

The cemetery calls us all
Lonely is its name
The jail is full from wall to wall
Lonely is its name
The homeless camp, the weathered tramp
Lonely is its name
The place you find yourself tonight
Lonely is its name

Excuse me sir
We must leave this world
And its pain
Your time is nigh
You have no choice
To remain

Echo chamber, silence falls     
Lonely is its name
That wasn’t god’s voice after all
Lonely is it’s name
That wasn’t god’s voice after all
That wasn’t god’s voice after all
