Alone, Alone - Boz Scaggs

I found a friend who says he hasn’t any fears

He has a brother who’s been sailing here for years

But if I have this friend for long

He’ll hear this sad confusing song

And look away from all he thinks he knows

And wonder where it goes

Turn his head and look away

Alone alone…

Turn his head and look away

Alone alone…

And I found a friend who says he’s shedding no more tears

Got him a woman who will love him through the years

If I’ve ever known his dreams

Things are all the way they seem

He’ll walk away from all his promises

And laugh about betrayal

Turn his head and look away

Alone alone…

Turn his head and look away

Alone alone…

And I found a friend who has not been here very long

He goes round and round and spins you out a song

He says his memory’s to blame

When nothing ever sounds the same

Here «I'm going inside the words"he said

And crawl back out the hole

Turn his head and look away

Alone alone…

Turn his head and look away

Alone alone…

And I found a friend who says he cannot sleep at night

He lies awake and balls his fists to beat the fright

He says it’s hard to get ahead

And things are better done than said

It’s a lonesome situation here

Hard and long and gone

Turn his head and look away

Alone alone…

Turn his head and look away

Alone alone…

And I found some friends who turn their heads and look away

«Man what’s wrong with you»

With all their reasons sounding good for things they say

If I have these friends for long

I’d get so lost inside this song

I’d get away from what I’m leaning on

Go on and on and on…

Turn my head and look away

Alone…

Turn my head and look away

Alone alone…

Turn my head and look away

Alone alone
