Alone

Here on Welbeck Street The body must move on Twirling my umbrella Stepping lightly past the throng Lonely as a child That lives among old men Lonely as the body Left behind when souls have fled Left behind when souls have fled Alone Alone Alone Alone Through the streets of London I once called you home Alone Alone Alone Alone City made of gray Blood shot with busses Carry them away To old familiar places I worked hand in glove Pouring out my love And if I’ve been betrayed Who will speed me? On my way Who will speed me? On my way Alone Alone Alone Alone Through the streets of London I once called you home Alone Alone Alone Alone Well that’s a world away From where I stand today My heart is heavy as a stone And I was led astray Now I’m bewildered and alone In the city Ten million strong Here I am alone
