alone
I waited for the sunrise But it never came I can see all the people Somehow they’re not the same They’re lost in the dreams In the schemes that my eyes couldn’t see The wishing wells, the small hotels Are what you left me You said goodbye to me today You left me on my own Someone’s gotta help me find my way I’m standing here alone I said “please stay” you laughed and walked away It’s all over now I can’t believe it, I can’t conceive it That you’re gone somehow [instrumental] The smiling faces, the warm embraces They’re all in the past Your sweet caress, my happiness It just couldn’t last People say that I am just a fool That I should go back home I just smile and say I’m doin fine I’m glad that I’m alone I guess I’ll go back home I’ll always be alone
