"Alone" lyrics

All the people I've been in a box in the basement
Eyes drawn over like a searchlight
Waiting for the ship to come in, 'cause we lost communication
She's drifting in the endless sea
Wide red eyes from choosing not to sleep
'Cause the whole world is new and had never been seen
By the stupid optimism of the long eighteen-year readying to be, to be, to be

And it's sudden, and it covers me

I am alone, I am alone, I am alone
I am alone, I am alone, I am alone

Bright young boy, grew up in the suburbs
And I became him, typical young lover
And I loved him so well that he ducked for cover
When he left me, I was less than he had found
But then the wind, then the rolling water
Then the dull refrigerator light, the writing of the song
And again they are their own, and again they are a daughter
And again there is a silence, what a sound

And it's sudden, and it covers me

I am alone, I am alone, I am alone
I am alone, I am alone, I am alone
I am alone, I am alone, I am alone
I am alone, I am alone, I am alone

And even now, with my baby in the kitchen
When I am capable of truly listening
There is a whisper in the coldness of the wind
And it's sudden, and it comforts me

I am alone
I am alone
I am alone, I am alone, I am alone
I am alone, I am alone, I am alone
I am alone, alone, alone
I am alone, alone, I am alone
I am alone, I am alone, alone
I am alone, I am alone, I am alone
I am alone, alone, alone
I am alone, alone, I am alone
