Only Alive — Roy Orbison

When you happened by my open eyes could see, My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached, I was full of life till you walked on by Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely And only alive.

For a moment my heart began to beat, My puppet legs responded to your strings, And my shuffling feet started stepping high Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely And only alive.

For all the things worth living for Left me for someone new And all of those things I lost I was left condemned to a lonely life Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely And only alive.
