Said I'm a willow bending in your mind
I'm a mirror cracked from side to side
I'm a snow-covered mountain in an empty room
I'm a house that burns down every night for you
Said I'm a doorway leading to the dark
I'm a liquid you're dissolving in
I'm a policeman working in an empty house
I'm a distant steeple on a long-deserted plain
Sometimes when I'm lonely, baby, then I'm only you
Said I'm a pattern on a china bowl
I'm a memory engraved upon your soul
I'm a prison cell without a door
I'm a finger drawing on a frosty window pane
Sometimes when I'm lonely, baby, then I'm only you
Sometimes when I'm lonely, baby, then I'm only you
Robyn Hitchcock released I’m Only You on Tue Jan 01 1985.
