It Gets Old to Be Alone - The Wooden Sky

Lay your body down awhile

I see you’re tired

You’ve been running all around me

You never seem inspired

If I unload the night awhile

I see the wires

Put your arms around me

And we’ll act like you rely

But it gets old

To be alone

I can’t even be at home

And be alone

You wrapped yourself up in some gold

And silver wires

Came to me so softly

I never asked you why

You hid your voice behind some

Convoluted cry

I wrote your name across my arm

But you still won’t come inside

It gets old

To be alone

I can’t even be at home

And be alone

It’s so cold tonight, so please

Come back inside

Lay your body down on me

And tell me that it’s fine

There’s a world outside, so darling

Close the blinds

Every time that we get drunk

Well, it could just be you and I

But I’m too old

To be alone

I can’t even be at home

And be alone
