On My Own

And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to go, no one to turn to
Did not want your money, sir
Came out here 'cause I was told to
And now the night is near
Now I can make believe he's here

Sometimes, I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him, and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness
The trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know
It's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself
And not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still, I say
There's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over, he is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending!
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness that I have never known!

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
