Mr. Lonely

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody for my own.
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
wish I had someone to call on the phone.
Damn, Clark swore under his breath, I wanted to call Lois about the lead on the blackout story but since he didn't have a phone, let alone a place to live that was a moot point. Not that she would take my call, maybe her husband would he has heard all about me…from Jimmy.
I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,
Away from home through no wish of my own.
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I wish that I could go back home.
God, he thought, I wish I could go home. Or that I really had a home to go to, but I have nothing left here on earth. I could head back to the farm, but that's not my place anymore. Lois has moved on, has a child and if her article's right the rest of the world is the same way.
Letters, never a letter,
I get no letters in the mail.
I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,
Oh how I wonder how is it I failed.
Hovering above the planet Clark could hear the cries for help, but no one called for him like before. Lois was right, the world had moved on without him. He should have never come back.
I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,

The cries kept getting harder and harder to ignore. I really want to go home, he thought looking down on the planet. Then it dawned on him, this was his home now. It may not have that homey feeling yet, but it really is all there is. That's when he decided that he was going to save all those people, answer all those cries for help even if they didn't want him to. Because this was his home, and all those crying out, his people. Then maybe he could tackle the whole Lois situation.
