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
