Alone We Walk

(album: Long Day Good Night - 2020)

I walked the other day among the faces in the crowd
Trading glances all along the way
As daylight disappeared and shadows slipped away
Along deserted sidewalks the streetlights guide the way

I wandered without aim, fading in and out of sight
And left the urban glow behind me for now
I linger for a while, taking in the quiet night
Then realize my heartbeat is the only sound

I wanted to believe
That we have a second chance
And I thought that you would be the one
To understand

That all alone we have this sacrifice
Waiting in the wings for us to fall
I move now patiently
I turn to face this great expanse
And I felt the coldness of the night
With my own hands

Now all alone we have this sacrifice
Waiting in the wings for us to fall
Is all the loneliness a sacrifice worth living with?
All alone we have to walk

I found the lost highways
Winding throughout the endless miles ahead
I have discovered the places
We're never meant to roam

The streetlights drop away
Surrounded now by emptiness
And I know that I am now the one
Who understands I am one with night

Now all alone we face this sacrifice
Waiting in the wings for us to fall
Is all this loneliness a sacrifice worth living with?
All alone we have to walk

And all alone
And all alone
All alone we walk
