I've Been Alone Too Long

(album: Songs - 1973)

Funny how you can go on living
And lose the simple knack of giving
It slips away before ya know it's gone
Ya build up walls and before ya know it
Someone moves you and you want to show it
But you just can't find a way of letting on

I've been alone too long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone too long

Funny how you can cut off feeling
And tell yourself your wounds are healing
When all you've done is turn the pain inside
And when your sure no one can get to ya
Someone smiles and it goes right through ya
And wakes up something that you thought had died

I've been alone too long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone too long

I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
