Waking Up Alone Lyrics

I took my chances on a one-way ticket home

Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I've known

Thought the time for settling down had come at last

Guess I hoped to find a future in my past

Walk with me darlin' where the wheatfields used to be

I will tell you stories of my times across the sea

You're the legendary girl I left behind

Can't begin to count the times you've crossed my mind

And Oh your children why the youngest looks just like you

She's the picture of her mother

But there'll never be another quite like you

You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore

And so goodnight

I'll take my memories to bed

And know that I'll be waking up alone

I should have noticed that the years were slipping by

Still you're just as lovely as the day we said goodbye

Like an old familiar poem that still won't rhyme

I could get back to the place but not the time

And Oh your children why the youngest looks just like you

She's the picture of her mother

But there'll never be another quite like you

You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore

And so goodnight

I'll take my memories to bed

And know that I'll be waking up alone
