Go It Alone
The flowers you gave me are dead on the table
I don't have the heart yet to unwrite the fable
Unwinding so slowly I can't feel the sting
Will I wake up one morning to birds that don't sing
It's two in the morning my eyes open wide
For I swore I heard breathing across the divide
My hands wander over and sink into air
I've forgotten that I am the only one here
In a sky blue as angels as heaven descends
I am holding a petal that's dry as the wind
Hasn't rained in a lifetime so nothing will grow
But the dread of the knowledge I'll go it alone
Oh I will go it alone
I will go it alone
I came into this world and I'll leave it as so
Do the sages and prophets and soothsayers know
We all go it alone
We all go it alone
We came into this world and we'll leave it as so
Do we all go alone?
I know now that life doesn't always unfurl
Like the stories I wrote for myself as a girl
And what I often see is not all what it seems
I am caught between fury, delusion and dreams
How can I hold a joy while my world dies away
And the kids know the truth that there's no one to save
Has it all become so dark now we see the end
When the flame flickers out becomes stardust again
So I'll wait at this window for no one to come
I am long past the age I pretend to be young
With my flights filled with fancy and head in the stars
I would trade it away to be back where you are
But I will go it alone
Oh I will go it alone
I came into this world and I'll leave it as so
Do the sages and prophets and soothsayers know
We all go it alone
We all go it alone
We came into this world and we'll leave it as so
Do we all go alone?
I don't have the heart yet to unwrite the fable
Unwinding so slowly I can't feel the sting
Will I wake up one morning to birds that don't sing
It's two in the morning my eyes open wide
For I swore I heard breathing across the divide
My hands wander over and sink into air
I've forgotten that I am the only one here
In a sky blue as angels as heaven descends
I am holding a petal that's dry as the wind
Hasn't rained in a lifetime so nothing will grow
But the dread of the knowledge I'll go it alone
Oh I will go it alone
I will go it alone
I came into this world and I'll leave it as so
Do the sages and prophets and soothsayers know
We all go it alone
We all go it alone
We came into this world and we'll leave it as so
Do we all go alone?
I know now that life doesn't always unfurl
Like the stories I wrote for myself as a girl
And what I often see is not all what it seems
I am caught between fury, delusion and dreams
How can I hold a joy while my world dies away
And the kids know the truth that there's no one to save
Has it all become so dark now we see the end
When the flame flickers out becomes stardust again
So I'll wait at this window for no one to come
I am long past the age I pretend to be young
With my flights filled with fancy and head in the stars
I would trade it away to be back where you are
But I will go it alone
Oh I will go it alone
I came into this world and I'll leave it as so
Do the sages and prophets and soothsayers know
We all go it alone
We all go it alone
We came into this world and we'll leave it as so
Do we all go alone?
