Alone But Not Lonely
Mary Chapin Carpenter Song Lyrics
(Mary Chapin Carpenter) I haven't a reason, a clue or a sign I haven't the slightest idea Of the shape of your heart or the state of your mind Do you ever let anyone near Do you ever reach out with arms open wide Do you ever jump in closing your eyes Or are you one of the fortunate kind Alone but not lonely Everyday on the street I study their faces The ones who rush on through the crowd Towards their own quiet worlds, their separate places Somewhere I'm never allowed 'Cause I've always been one to say what I need And than the next thing it's done and I'm watching 'em leave And I'm thinking, I wish I could be Alone but not lonely So which one are you tonight Do you change with the morning light Do you say more than what sounds right Do you say what you mean? There are moments in time that are meant to be held Like fragile, breakable things There are others that pass us, you can't even tell Such is their grace and their speed And this one is gone in the blink of an eye You can ask me the truth but tonight I will lie Unflinching I'll tell you that I'm alone but not lonely |
