Waking Up Alone

歌詞

I took my chances on a one-way ticket home Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I've known Thought the time for settling down had come at last Guess I hoped to find a future in my past Walk with me darlin' where the wheatfields used to be I will tell you stories of my times across the sea You're the legendary girl I left behind Can't begin to count the times you've crossed my mind And Oh your children why the youngest looks just like you She's the picture of her mother But there'll never be another quite like you You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore And so goodnight I'll take my memories to bed And know that I'll be waking up alone I should have noticed that the years were slipping by Still you're just as lovely as the day we said goodbye Like an old familiar poem that still won't rhyme I could get back to the place but not the time And Oh your children why the youngest looks just like you She's the picture of her mother But there'll never be another quite like you You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore And so goodnight I'll take my memories to bed And know that I'll be waking up alone
