Alone. Lyrics by Frank Watkinson

Coffee to go

2021

[Verse 1]
They always say it's good to talk to people now and then
But no one seems to want to sit and talk to this old man
They'll think he'll talk about the weather
And how it always seems to rain
They'll think that all he'll ever do is complain
Well I know that's how it comes across
But try to understand there was a time
When he was a younger man

[Verse 2]
If only you would stop awhile
And just give him half a chance
He could tell you stories of wonderment, lost love
And new romance, stories that might play on your mind
Make you stop and think, stories that could save you
When you feel like you're on the brink of despair
'Cause I bet you a dollar he's been there

[Verse 3]
He'll talk of times when in his youth
He was admired by his peers and tales of long-lost friendships
That he's had over the years and if you ask, I bet you
He could name every pet he's ever owned
From the one he had as a small child to the one
That's not long gone

[Verse 4]
And if you spare the time to listen, he will tell you even more
Tales of adventure, when he was sent off to the war
And often, he will stop and gaze up to the sky
As he whispers to himself, "Why did so many have to die?"
Hell, they never had the chance to say goodbye

[Verse 5]
For most of his life now he's worked upon the farms
Looking after the livestock and keeping them safe from harm
Had himself some real pretty girls, but he just couldn't settle down
And he was never a more happier man than
When he was travelling around

[Outro]
But now his mind keeps drifting and they've put him in this home
Surrounded by others, just like him altogether
But feeling so alone
