The exclusion of the third verse turns what really is a fairly optimistic song (when the "author" of the song realizes he isn't alone, there are millions of other lonely people out there) into something totally different and more depressing. Why cut the third verse? Was Machine Head angling for something darker? I don't know, but not a very successful cover in my opinion.
