On My Own

And now I'm all alone again, no where to turn no one to go to.
Without a home without a friend without a face to say hello.
and now the night is near,
and now I can make believe he is here.
Sometimes I walk alone all night when everybody else is sleeping.
I think of him and then I'm happy with the company of him.
The city goes to bed, and I can live inside my head.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me.
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
all the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
that I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us.

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
the world around me changes
the trees are bare and everywhere
the streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
