All That Keeps Ya Goin'

(albüm: Standing Alone - 1970)

When the princess and the peasants each look back at you the same
When the friend that you had known before can't quite recall your name
When each morning there's a cloudy sky to keep the sun from showing
Then you know you are your own sometimes that's all that keeps ya going

Neath the chimneys and the rooftops of a village safe and sound
No one sees the face nor hears the feet that walk the morning ground
And the stillness of the alleys and the highways keep a growing
So you know you are your own and that alone will keep ya going

Through the dampness of the dawn now by the road you walk alone
And you think on days when you had laughed or of a love you'd known
But your head is low avoiding thoughts of times you'll soon be knowing
When to say you are your own ain't quite enough to keep ya going
