Alone But Not Alone
D# G# D# G#
I�m stretched out like a canvas �neath a blue and endless sky
D# Cm Bb
Staring up through cattle bones as cotton balls roll by
D# G# D# G#
I swear I see a rose up there so beautiful and white
D# Cm Bb
If I so much as blink an eye I could lose her in this light
G# Bb
Out here in this deserted land the future looks so vast
G# Bb
Like every little grain of sand and every blade of grass
D# G# D#
I�m alone but not alone
Cm G# D#
Something inside me is trying to guide me on my long way back home
D# G# D#
I�m alone but not alone
Only with these stolen words can I unpack my heart
While you rise from the ashes I feel free in the dark
I swear I feel your humid breath so soft inside my ear
The day they lay my soul to rest I swear I�ll meet you there
Out here on this great expanse the wind cries over my head
At night I hear the natives dance in circles round my bed
I�m alone but not alone
Something quite near me is trying to steer me
It�s a long way back home
D# G# D#
I�m alone but not alone
G# Bb G# Bb
Goodbye California, Goodbye Tennessee,
G# Bb G# Bb
Goodbye sweet Carolina, don�t worry about me
I�m alone but not alone
Something so strong is leading me on my long way back home
I�m alone but not alone
