[Verse 1]
When I'm alone
The words dripped of a stone
As those will be alone, it's nothing strange
When I was young
You said "When I was young I was buried by the names that I've been called"
I thought of age
Of loneliness and change
And how strange we grow when we are alone
And how unlike
The selves that meet and talk
And blow the candles out and say goodnight
[Chorus]
And I don't think I'd stay for long
Cause I will go where I am not alone
And on the day when I'll be gone
You know that I will be where I am not alone
Oh I will be where I am not alone
[Verse 2]
When I'm too small
He looked at me and smiled
As those who'd be too small was nothing said
What does it mean
He said tell me what it means
To feel something that makes the others leave
I think of friends
Of family and home
And how things could be if I was not so strange
And what it's like
To sit by the fireplace
To get the winter coats, winter nights
[Chorus]
And I don't think I'd stay for long
Cause I will go where I am not alone
And on the day when I'll be gone
You know that I will be where I am not alone
Oh I will be where I am not alone
[Bridge]
Ooh
In the stillness where our spirits walk
All but innermost love is overthrown
Mmmmmh
[Chorus]
And I don't think I'd stay for long
Cause I will go where I am not alone
And on the day when I'll be gone
You know that I will be where I am not alone
Oh I will be where I am not alone
[Outro]
Oh I will be where I am not alone
