So Alone - Charlie

The city streets are all closing in

No place to hide from that cold cold wind

Down here on the ground people rush around

Running home before night begins

But I just walk round 'cause this ain’t my town

It’s darker now and it feels like rain

The wind blows hard, all the shopfronts strain

There are neon signs showing date and time

The people cram in those rush hour trains

But I just walk round 'cause this ain’t my town

I’ve tried all the city bars, this place could be Mars, I feel so alone

I’ve seen every movie show, I stay till they close, I’m so far from home

The French I learnt at school don’t help me at all, I feel so alone

So alone — I don’t have the money to

Telephone — if I had my way I would

Run for home — there’s no chance of that so I’m

On my own — wishing that I could be

Flying home — if only I could I would

Try to phone — I’m cold and I’m tired and I’m

So alone

The rain comes quick, I find the nearest bar

Just one small beer, I know it won’t go far

Too much time to drink, too much time to think

I never thought that it would be so hard

But I just walk round 'cause this ain’t my town

I’ve tried all the city bars, this place could be Mars, I feel so alone

I’ve seen every movie show, I stay till they close, I’m so far from home

The French I learnt at school don’t help me at all, I feel so alone

So alone — I don’t have the money to

Telephone — if I had my way I would

Run for home — there’s no chance of that so I’m

On my own — wishing that I could be

Flying home — if only I could I would

Try to phone — I’m cold and I’m tired and I’m

So alone
