Like storm clouds on a sunny day
Like children at an open grave
Like people meaning what they say
I’m alone
I’m shipwrecked on Manhattan
The almighty’s only son
The loneliest number since
The number one
Can’t you see I can’t believe
In anything you say or do now
People come and people go
Yet solitude remains my love
Time will pass and years can fade
They’re still calling for me
Calling for me now
It doesn’t matter where I am
It doesn’t matter who I meet
It doesn’t matter
It never mattered
I’m alone
It doesn’t matter who I see
It doesn’t matter who I need
It doesn’t matter
It never mattered
I’m alone
I stand alone
A homeless soul
On a crowded street
A shadow there
Yet never seen
This victim of
A blind humanity
Like an infant’s
Unanswered cry
The day after a
Chalk outline
Like the final scene
In the Godfather trilogy
Can’t you see I can’t believe
In anything you say or do now
People come and people go
Yet solitude remains my love
Time will pass and years can fade
They’re still calling for me
Calling for me now
It doesn’t matter where I am
It doesn’t matter who I meet
It doesn’t matter
It never mattered
I’m alone
It doesn’t matter who I see
It doesn’t matter who I need
It doesn’t matter
It never mattered
I’m alone
I stand alone
Can’t you see I can’t believe
In anything you say or do now
People come, people go
Yet solitude remains my love
Time will pass and years can fade
They’re calling for me
Calling for me now
It doesn’t matter where I am
It doesn’t matter who I meet
It doesn’t matter
It never mattered
I’m alone
It doesn’t matter who I see
It doesn’t matter who I need
It doesn’t matter
It never mattered
I’m alone
I stand alone
