On My Own

And now I'm all alone again Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home without a friend Without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near now I can make believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and I'm happy with the company I'm keeping
A city goes to bed And I can live inside my head

On my own Pretending he's beside me
All alone I walk with him till morning Without him
I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river

In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us

I love him but when the night is over
He is gone The river's just a river without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him but every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me His world would go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him I love him
I love him But only on my own
