You were alone I saw you from that second story window. No sign of Jerome He burned your would'ves Right down to the cinders So why'd you go The party's full of friends That you lost in the break up Did you think he'd show & Be impressed by a new dress & Your sister's make-up You were alone Canvassing to save your reputation Sobbing to Simone About how he up & left no explanation & How you drove Out to his place to pound the door & Wake the neighbors Til they yelled he ain't home Now go & get some sleep Do us a favor You were alone Hiding from the rain in the gazebo Shivered to the bone & Hoping for a taxi to retrieve you Well if you need a ride home I'm on my way up to Orinda & You can wear my coat
