Alone

The lyrics to the song "Alone" by Heart have great meaning to me.

From my past, they, along with the song "The Quiet Room" by Alice Cooper, are always going to be a reminder of my past relationship with my first wife. The Quiet Room, because it was the first song on the first CD she ever made for me (actually, i think it was a cassette tape). Alone, because she used to sing it frequently, and her voice has always made me smile and/or cry. It was also the first song that i heard her sing karaoke.

Now, though, it holds other meaning as well. It perfectly sums up my life right now. So, here i present them to you, my readers.

Alone - by Heart


I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

'Til now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

'Til now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
