A Man Alone lyrics

(R.Mckuen)
[Recorded March 20, 1969, Hollywood]

In me, you see a man alone
Held by the habit of being on his own
A man who listens to the trembling of the trees
With sentimental ease

In me, you see a man alone
Behind the wall he`s learned to call his home
A man who still goes walkin` in the rain
Expecting love again

A man not lonely except when the dark comes on
A man learning to live with mem`ries of midnights that fell apart at dawn

In me, you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Only other people`s dreams

[instrumental-strings]

A man learning to live with memories of midnights that fell apart at dawn

In me, you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Just other people`s dreams
