Only Alone - Lindisfarne

How long does it take to forget

The face that haunts your dreamtime?

And how many years does it take to regret

The times spent in between time?

Oh, you’re not lonely, you’re only alone

And I know you’ve got friends and they’re on the telephone

Far be it from me to question your sanity

‘Cause in the end, friend, we’re all on our own

No, I’m not lonely, I’m only here by myself

Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf

No, I’m not lonely, I’m only passing time

In a week or two I’m telling you it’s gonna turn, turn out fine

How long does it take to wake up?

How long to adventure?

Past illusions timeless make up

Into time forever?

Oh, you’re not lonely, you’re only alone

And I know you’ve got friends and they’re on the telephone

Far be it from me to question your sanity

‘Cause in the end, friend, we’re all on our own

No, I’m not lonely, I’m only here by myself

Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf

No, I’m not lonely, I’m only passing time

In a week or two I’m telling you it’s gonna turn, turn out fine

No, I’m not lonely, I’m only here by myself

Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf

No, I’m not lonely, I’m only passing time

In a week or two I’m telling you it’s gonna turn, turn out fine

No, I’m not lonely, I’m only here by myself

Got the radio, got the record show but I’m only here by myself
