Lie Alone - Blanco White

Farewell my room of lies

Have you gone at last?

I’m lost not paralysed

I may never come back

There’s no answer in the air

Why the lightning struck

You should have known

I would not care

Every diamond’s cut

From the dirt

So I lie alone

And risk each night

I long to let you in

But there’s a life I lost

Drifted out, before

You let me in

I wrote to you in red

Where the sailors dock

And from here I have not left

You’ve become my lock

Still the boatman never came

Why I cannot guess

Don’t you know it’s all the same?

Every myth cheats death

Just the same

So I lie alone

And risk each night

I long to let you in

But there’s a life I lost

Drifted out

Before

You let me in
