When I Put The Records On Lyrics - The Gathering Field

It started on a lonely Friday 

The world was gray and overcast again 

I couldn't find no one to be my friend 

Locked the bedroom door as always 

Saw my brother's records laying there 

And so began a life-long love affair 

I put the record on the stereo 

And though I wasn't quite a Romeo 

The loneliness was gone 

When I put the record on 

And with the spinning of the turn table 

I felt a burden lifted from my soul 

I saw a new day dawn 

When I put the record on 

Years went by and still I struggled 

Lovers lost to what I could not say 

Running from the sober light of day 

But as the world around me crumbled 

I heard the sweet and lyrical refrain 

Heroes walking homeward through the rain 

I put the record on the stereo... 

And it said: 

Shalalalala Shalalalalala 

You ain't alone in your sorrow 

Shalalalala Shalalalalala 

You ain't alone in your pain 

Shalalalala Shalalalalala 

You'll feel better tomorrow 

I put the record on the stereo...
