[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt]
When I was a little boy
Way out in 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]
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
