not alone
She sees him laying in the bed alone tonight The only thing a touching him is a crack of light Pieces of her hair are wrapped around and 'round his fingers He reaches for her side for any sign of her that lingers And she says you are not alone Laying in the light Put out the fire in your head And lay with me tonight One of them bullets went straight for the jugular vein There were people running, A flash of light then everything changed Nothing really matters in the end you know all the worries sever Don't be afraid for me my friend One day we all fall down forever She says you are not alone Laying in the light Put out the fire in your head And lay with me tonight The wedding date was June just like any other bride She loved him like no one before and it was good to be alive Sometimes that can slip away as fast as any fingers through your hands So you let time forgive the past and go and make some other plans You are not alone Laying in the light Put out the fire in your head And lay with me tonight You are not alone Laying in the light Put out the fire in your head And lay with me tonight
