Alone

[Verse 1]

All the people I've been in a box in the basement

Eyes drawn over like a searchlight

Waiting for the ship to come in, 'cause we lost communication

She's drifting in the endless sea

Wide red eyes from choosing not to sleep

'Cause the whole world's new and had never been seen

By the stupid optimism of the long 18-year readying to be, to be, to be

And it's sudden, and it covers me

[Chorus]

I am alone, I am alone, I am alonе

I am alone, I am alone, I am alone

[Verse 2]

Bright, young boy, grеw up in the suburbs

And I became him, typical young lover

And I loved him so well that he ducked for cover

When he left me, I was less than he had found

But then the wind, then the rolling water

Then the dull refrigerator light, the writing of the song

And again they are their own, and again they are a daughter

And again there is a silence, what a sound

And it's sudden, and it covers me

[Chorus]
