All Alone

from Fact From Fiction by Darryl Gregory

/

lyrics

Once upon a time an old man told me about his biggest fear
That everyone would up and leave and he'd still be right here
All alone
At his kitchen table all alone

He said he put his love in a jar underneath the kitchen sink
Then he’d spread out his regrets on a table where he'd sit and think
All alone
Smoking cigarettes all alone

I told him he’s a damned old fool
If you can't see through
All your stupid lies
Have a talk with your ghosts
Tell ‘em a couple of jokes
Grab yourself some peace of mind
Before you're out of time
Left here crying
All alone

People can't be bothered to give an old man the time of day
Ask them what they want most out of life and they’re likely to say
I want to be left alone
Just leave me all alone

We’re all damned fools
And we can't see through
All our stupid lies
We try talking to our ghosts
They won’t laugh at our jokes
They don’t pay us any mind
They know we’re out of time
Left here crying
All alone

Take a little Mellencamp, throw in some Cash, stir with a dash of Hiatt and flavor with Springsteen & Earle. Sounds Like Darryl Gregory. Heat-n-Eat! mmm good.
