Alone Lyrics - The Buffalo Skinners - Big Country

The mid-day sky was grey and purple 

At least it wasn't blue 

I want the sky to be the way I am 

And what I do 

For I have been a lost and lonely 

Sailor on your sea 

Run aground by trusting signals 

You were sending me 

The streets are filled with empty faces 

Nothing here is new 

It's just the same in other places 

I have journeyed to 

I was the first across the water 

The last across the land 

I walked out of the silver mine 

My pockets full of sand 

Alone inside my head 

Alone inside my room 

I feel alone inside my head 

Alone inside my tiny little world 

It's not my life in those old pictures 

The ones you threw away 

For I was always someone else 

And always far away 

Walking in the darkest places 

Where the mission meets 

Waiting for the ground to open up 

Beneath my feet 

Alone inside my head 

Alone inside my room 

I feel alone inside my head 

Alone inside my tiny little world 

Alone inside my head 

Alone inside my room 

I feel alone inside my head 

Alone inside my tiny little world 

Alone inside my head 

Alone inside my room 

I feel alone inside my head 

Alone inside my tiny little world
