Alone

I am hungry for some company
And I have no idea how long I'll wait
To touch another friend or lover
Ain't nobody knows just how long this will take
I try to focus on the positive
Still I wonder just how long I will live

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

I go out walking, rain is dropping
On my head it almost feels like a caress
I call up Linda in West Virginia
She is tucking Joe and Laila into bed
I try to catch her in the hour she's got
We make love across the lines, pretend we're not

Alone
Alone
Alone

Every couple of days
I take a drive around the neighborhood
There are people who wave
I say hello, oh yes I try to be good
But this skin longs for touch
I never knew how much until I lost it

I am tired of the bullshit
That these politicians think we wanna hear
They blame another and run for cover
While we're trying just to live out all our years
Now I worry every time that I cough
If I get sick I will not be better off

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
