I've Been Alone Too Long

(альбом: Alone Too Long - 1979)

Funny how I can go on living
And lose the simple knack of giving
It slips away before I know it's gone
I build a wall and before I know it
Someone woos me and I wanna show it
I just can't find a way of letting on

I've been alone too long
Baby, now don't you leave
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me

I wanna 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 I can cut off feeling
And tell the world my wounds are healing
All I've done is turn the pain inside
And when I'm sure no one can get to me
There's a smile and it goes right through me
To wake up to something that I thought had died

I've been alone too long
Baby, now don't you leave
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me

I wanna 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

But I don't know how
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
I've been alone too long
Oh baby, I've been alone too long
