Alone

Song lyrics by Chris Bontos and Butch Maxwell

You know there’s times I like to be alone
I want some time to draw the blinds and disconnect the phone
Don’t want to read my mail
Don’t want to hear if the doorbell’s ringing

Every hour of every day I watch fly by
To these moments on my back I wave bye-bye
I can’t see the light
I can’t even hear birds singing

You know there’re times I have to hide away
I want to lock up all the doors and give up the day
I can’t turn back time
I can’t stop all the passing years

Every word you ever said I hear again
I don’t think I can take another loss again
You are my best hope
And the worst of my deepest fears

In a world full of tension
Full of stress and contention
And did I ever mention
My deep apprehension
Of losing you?
And of keeping you?
