Being Alone I don't mind being alone most of the time out here on my own singing my rhyme for some made-up girl maybe with red hair eyes as bright as the world tell me she's out there somewhere These days I'm alone like always, I guess out here on my own no real happiness but no sadness there's just my songs and October weather as company help carry me along help me come upon an epiphany Where I can discover something, someone else to live for maybe I could live for her but till the day she comes to my door I suppose I'll be just fine cozy inside my rhymes and strangely content in being alone being out here on my own Some days it get so cold sometimes I'm shivering and there's nobody to hold but I'll be alright as I'm hovering over this bed tonight the October weather surrounding me and I don't want to fight I'll just float along here free and easy I can't quite remember something, someone else I've lived for a very significant other I think she ran away, right out the door I guess I'm just fine packed away her valentines strangely comfortable in being alone being out here in this bleak world all on my own Now Sam Cooke sings to me as I'm fading out tonight like the lamp lights on the street sighing like a raindrop's flight from the clouds to the ground falling and splashing without notice so I'm dreamland bound stumbling upon her memory in bliss Yeah I don't mind being alone most of the time I'm out here on my own singing my rhyme for some figment girl maybe with autumn red hair green eyes as bright as the world tonight wake me and tell me she's out there somewhere till then I'll float along here free and easy "The moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell". -- Tom Waits, 'Bad Live and a Broken Heart' |
