I Always Find Myself Alone

Deep in the night, 
As everyone falls asleep; 
I find myself awake and alone
With a perfect promise to keep.

I keep on thinking
Of the words so comforting; 
As I find myself alone
With a pen to do the writing.

In broad daylight, 
As the sun shines so bright; 
Yes, I find myself alone, 
Seeking sentences to write.

After searching for the love, 
For the rest of my life; 
I still find myself alone
With my one and only wife.

Yes, no man is an island, 
Sitting in the silent sea; 
But the island is beautiful
For all the people to see.

Between lasting peace
And serenity that I've known; 
I'll stand gladly without fear, 
I'll always find myself alone.
