Alone In a Big, Bright World

Alone, alone and watching the midnight full moon Alone, alone and carrying a curse that should feel like a boon Alone, alone in a lonely house and peering into the wintry, foggy gloom Alone, alone in a big, bright world and it seems the only one alone is a loon. Alone, alone and staring into the fire Alone, alone and sinking, into the bog, into the mire Alone, alone in the heart of the woods and watching a burning pyre Alone, alone in a big, bright world and it seems the only one alone is a liar. Alone, alone and looking into my soul Alone, alone and knowing, never can I fill this hole Alone, alone in a dark void and surviving without a goal Alone, alone in a big, bright world and it seems the only one alone is not whole. Alone, alone and standing, facing the sea Alone, alone and not knowing what might be Alone, alone in the darkness and feeling it creeping over me Alone, alone in a big, bright world and it seems the only one alone is me.
