Blanco White - Lie Alone

Farewell my room of lies, Have you
gone at last? I’m lost not
paralysed, I may never come
back. There’s no answer in the
air, Why the lightning struck. You
should have known I would not
care, Every diamond’s cut, from
the dirt.

So I lie alone, And risk each night, I
long to let you in. But there’s a life
I lost, Drifted out, beforeYou let
me in.

I wrote to you in red, Where the
sailors dock. And from here I have
not left, You’ve become my
lock. Still the boatman
never came, Why I cannot guess. Don’t
you know it’s all the same? Every
myth cheats death, Just the same.

So I lie alone, And risk each night, I
long to let you in. But there’s a life
I lost, Drifted out, before You let
me in.
