alone alone

i found a friend who says he hasn't any fears

he has a brother who's been sailing here for years

but if i have this friend for long

he'll hear this sad confusing song

and look away from all he thinks he knows

and wonder where it goes

turn his head and look away

alone alone. turn his head and look away

alone alone. and i found a friend who says he's shedding no more tears

got him a woman who will love him through the years

if i've ever known his dreams

things are all the way they seem

he'll walk away from all his promises

and laugh about betrayal

turn his head and look away

alone alone. turn his head and look away

alone alone. and i found a friend who has not been here very long

he goes round and round and spins you out a song

he says his memory's to blame

when nothing ever sounds the same

here i'm going inside the words" he said
