Alone Tonight Lyrics by Genesis

Duke

1980

[Verse 1]
There's nothing here I can understand
And no one cares I'm a lonely man
I touch your face and I don't know why
I call your name but you're going by
Now I'm alone again

[Verse 2]
I have no name for each and every day
Until the year is done and fades away
There's a time in between the two
The old years gone but it's not the new
And I, I, I, I know that I'll be

[Chorus]
All alone again, alone again tonight
Oh, I'm alone again, alone again tonight
Oh, I'm alone again, and it seems to me
That every time I try to change
Say that you'll, say that you'll help me
Reach the other side

[Bridge]
And when the morning comes the sun is out
And warms me up again
What a funny world it is for me
And all I'll ever be
It's not enough, it's not enough
This feeling I'm feeling inside
Oh, I know it, I know tonight that I'll be

[Chorus]
On my own tonight, alone again tonight
Oh, I'm alone again, alone again tonight
Oh, I'm alone again, and it seems to me
That every time I try to change
Well say that you'll, say that you'll help me
Reach the other side

[Outro]
Help me please 'cause I know I'm gonna be
On my own again, alone again tonight
Oh, I'm alone again, alone again tonight
I'm all alone, alone again tonight, tonight, tonight
