Lyrics
Love Alone
Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 2006
I?ve been off wondering
In that vast imaging
I get lost, in my own skin,
For years at a time.
But a light, fills the dawn,
And pretty soon, I?ve moved on,
Just another escape,
From my own mind.
Chorus:
I reach for the sky,
It eludes, my grasp.
I reach for the ocean,
But it moves on past.
A touch of your hand,
Always brings me back,
Love alone is real.
Verse 2:
I?m not sure,
If what I know,
Is just another way to go.
If I sit, or if I stand,
I?m still being me.
Off and on like a light,
To and fro, day and night,
I am often alone,
To search for a plan.
Bridge:
I don?t have any answers for you.
Why would you expect me to?
Chorus: Same as above
