You have to want to go Past the access roads With your flashlight drawn Run the darkness through Past the bullfrog choirs And cicada drones For the rest of my life Will I gnaw at this bone? That I am always alone That I am always alone That I am always alone Past your heavy door Swung open wide Sweet chimney smoke Must I walk on by? And will I know your face Every crease and slope For the rest of my life? Will I gnaw at this bone That I am always alone That I am always alone That I am always alone That I am always alone That I am always alone That I am always alone
