Alone
Neil Finn/Tim Finn/Mervyn Peake

Here on Welbeck Street
The body must move on
Twirling my umbrella
Stepping lightly past the throng
Lonely as a child
Who lives among old men
Lonely as a body
Left behind when souls have fled 

Alone, alone, alone
Through the streets of London
I once called you home
Alone, alone, alone 

City made of grey
Bloodshot with buses
Carry them away
To old familiar places
I worked hand in glove
Pouring out my love
And if I’ve been betrayed
Who will speed me on my way?

Alone, alone, alone
Through the streets of London
Once called you home
Alone, alone, alone
But that’s a world away
From where I stand today
My heart as heavy as a stone
I was led astray
Now I’m bewildered and alone
In the city, ten million strong
Here I am alone

Song appears on:
