Lyrics
ALONE
Alone, alone, all, all alone,
Alone on a wide, wide sea;
And never a saint took pity on
My soul in agony.
Alone in a world
Blown clear of love,
I groan as I?m hurled,
Bone-crushing shove.
Alone in a world
Blown clear of love.
Averting my eyes,
Hurting within;
Alert to that spy?s
Furtive, sly grin.
Averting my eyes,
Hurting within.
Alone, alone, all, all alone,
Alone on a wide, wide sea;
And never a saint took pity on
My soul in agony.
Again I prevail
When dark night falls;
Attention can?t fail
When duty calls.
Again I prevail
When dark night falls.
Awhile I remain,
File these cold bars;
A smile, then disdain,
Guile, and then scars.
Awhile I remain,
File these cold bars.
Alone, alone, all, all alone,
Alone on a wide, wide sea;
And never a saint took pity on
My soul in agony.
Adrift on oceans,
Shifted by waves,
A gift in motion
Lifts from the grave.
Adrift on oceans,
Shifted by waves.
Amazed, resolute,
Gazing nearby;
I raise a salute,
Praise God, and die.
Alone, alone, all, all alone,
Alone on a wide, wide sea;
And never a saint took pity on
My soul in agony.
