Alone But Not Lonely

Alone
but not lonely
grey sky
no rain to see
a big bed half empty
no elegant frame there to tempt me

Alone
but not lonely
all alone
two doors, just one key
but putting a vacancy sign up
for someone to drink from my cup

Till then
I'm alone
but not lonely
feelin' old and boney
I need to carry this myself
my heart to this vacant shelf

All alone
but not lonely
no one here
just memories dancing on by
so thick you can almost grasp them
but I don't even try

I'll just be alone
not waiting on the phone
to sing and inform me
anyway I'm not lonely
just alone
and a little wistful
once when I had a fistful
now it's down to me
but I've been okay
alone but not lonely
alone but not lonely

Alone
but not quite lonely

...not yet

"Some rides don't have much of a finish;
that's the ride I took." --Gin Blossoms, '29'
