All Alone
I SIT HERE IN MY LONELINESS
AND STARE AT THE FOUR WALLS.
I CALL YOUR NAME BUT ALL I GET
ARE ECHOES IN THE HALLS
I HEAR YOUR VOICE IN EVERY ROOM
YET, YOU’RE NOT EVEN HERE.
I PACE THE FLOOR AND CLOSE MY EYES,
PRETENDING YOU ARE NEAR.
I REACH OUT FOR YOU BLINDLY
IN HOPES YOU’LL TOUCH MY HAND.
THE EMPTINESS AROUND ME
IS MORE THAN I CAN STAND.
I’M BEGGING YOU --COME BACK TO ME
WHEREVER YOU MAY ROAM.
WITH ARMS OUTSTRETCHED, I’M WAITING DEAR,
TO WELCOME YOU BACK HOME.
AND STARE AT THE FOUR WALLS.
I CALL YOUR NAME BUT ALL I GET
ARE ECHOES IN THE HALLS
I HEAR YOUR VOICE IN EVERY ROOM
YET, YOU’RE NOT EVEN HERE.
I PACE THE FLOOR AND CLOSE MY EYES,
PRETENDING YOU ARE NEAR.
I REACH OUT FOR YOU BLINDLY
IN HOPES YOU’LL TOUCH MY HAND.
THE EMPTINESS AROUND ME
IS MORE THAN I CAN STAND.
I’M BEGGING YOU --COME BACK TO ME
WHEREVER YOU MAY ROAM.
WITH ARMS OUTSTRETCHED, I’M WAITING DEAR,
TO WELCOME YOU BACK HOME.
