Lie Alone

Farewell my room of lies

Have you gone at last?

I'm lost, not paralyzed

I may never come back

There's no answer in the air

Why the lightnin' struck

You should have known I would not care

Every diamond's cut from the dirt

And so I lie alone

And risk each night, I long to let you in

But there's a life I lost

It's drifted out before you let me in

I wrote to you in red where the sailors dock

And from here I have not left

You've become my lock

And still the boatman never came

Why? I cannot guess

But don't you know it's all the same?

Every myth cheats death, just the same

And so I lay alone

And risk each night, I long to let you in

But there's a life I lost

It's drifted out before you let me in

And so I lie alone

I long to let you in

But there's a life I have lost

And it's driftin' out

I lie alone

I lie alone

I lie alone

Oh, I lay alone
