"A Man Alone" — Rod McKuen's portrait of solitude.
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 sentimentals ease
In me you see a man alone
Behind the wall hes learned to call his home
A man who still goes walking in the rain
Expecting love again.
A man not lonely
Except when the dark comes on
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
Only other peoples dreams.
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 peoples dreams.
