He has a brother who's been sailing here for years
But if I have this friend for long
He'll hear this sad confusing song
And look away from all he thinks he knows
And wonder where it goes
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
And I found a friend who says he's shedding no more tears
Got him a woman who will love him through the years
If I've ever known his dreams
Things are all the way they seem
He'll walk away from all his promises
And laugh about betrayal
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
And I found a friend who has not been here very long
He goes round and round and spins you out a song
He says his memory's to blame
When nothing ever sounds the same
Here "I'm going inside the words" he said
And crawl back out the hole
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
And I found a friend who says he cannot sleep at night
He lies awake and balls his fists to beat the fright
He says it's hard to get ahead
And things are better done than said
It's a lonesome situation here
Hard and long and gone
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
And I found some friends who turn their heads and look away
"Man what's wrong with you"
With all their reasons sounding good for things they say
If I have these friends for long
I'd get so lost inside this song
I'd get away from what I'm leaning on
Go on and on and on...
Turn my head and look away
Alone...
Turn my head and look away
Alone alone...
Turn my head and look away
Alone alone
