lyrics

Dec. 7, 2004


Christmas lights are up outside
but I’m inside

I sit to eat my meal prepared,
of pity and pride

Alone…



This beer in my hand is my only friend
my only cure

Brake the news, I can barely stand
upon the floor


Snow won’t fall, I wish it would
it’d be just like

A movie made for on TV,
Sunday night


Alone… alone…



Hot dogs made of turkey meat
and old corn chips

Are the food I had to eat
the night you split


I understand just why you left
I understand, I do

This little test you left for me
is more than I can chew


You’ve hit the road you left your things
you left without your hat

These tiny lines are telling me
you left with more than that




I did you wrong, I know I did
I pray I’ll make things right

That child belongs to both of us
good Lord


My head is swimming, my body’s light
my skin is wet

I’m overjoyed, I’m scared out my mind
and desperately


Alone
