Alone Together - Marley's Ghost

The rain fell soft on old Monterey

There was nothing left that I could say

Your mind was made and your heart was all undone

Those few words spoken far too much

As we lay so close, so out of touch

Alone together waitin' for the dawn

A red-tail sailed towards the rainbow’s end

It’s a shame we can’t get back again

To that night we tripped the light down St. Charles Avenue

Best plans are laid, then romance fades

As the grand illusion falls from view

When the feeling’s gone even all of the right words just won№t do

And we had a dream that lasted

To stand the test of time

But it don’t look like we passed it

And it hurts to say good-bye

I detect a weary smile these days

I guess it’s better than the hurt and the hate

We’ve come along way, known every shade of emotion

So we’ll let the chips fall where they may

Hold out for some brighter day

Like the sunlight playing on the restless ocean
