On my own

And now again
No where to turn
No one to go to

Without a hope
Without a friend
Without a face
To say ‘hello’ to

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody is sleeping
And then I think of him
I’m happy with the company
I’m keeping

The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he’s beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
I feel his arm around me
And when I lose my way
I close me eyes
And he has found me

In the rain,
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights
Are misty in the river
In the darkness
The trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him
And me forever and forever

And I know
It’s only in my mind
That I am talking to myself
And not to him

I love him
But when the night is over
He’s gone
The river is just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare
And everywhere the streets are full of strangers

I love him,
For everyday I’m lonely
All there years
I’m only there pretending
Without him
His world will go on turning
A world that is full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him.....
I love him…..
I love him…..
But only on my own
