End Up Alone - Nine Days

What I see is what’s to be

Cartwheels to eternity

'Round and 'round my head she goes

In the good dreams though she wears no clothes

Took our picture by the sea

The ocean waits to carry me

Carry me back home again

To where she sleeps I lay my head

Saw her running barefoot

But the ground there never touched her feet

Watched her in the shadows

While the tide came in and claimed our beach

We could’ve made it in the dunes

We had it all within our reach

But I’ve got a lot of life to learn

And you’ve got a lot of life to teach

Why do we all end up alone?

Why do we always have to find our way back home?

Why do we all end up alone?

We gather no moss just like a rolling

What I say is what I mean

No definition in between

Couldn’t make it in the movie scene

You couldn’t stay on, you couldn’t stay clean

What you wear is who you are

The odds are in and you’ll go far

A penny for your thoughts you’ll see

A nickel buys you what you need

Saw you on the big show

Saw you swinging from the big trapeze

Standing on my tiptoes

While you brushed the dirt from off your knees

Should have come as no surprise

No one else here did have your drive

You’ve got a big white stretch parked right outside

But nobody there to share your ride

Why do we all end up alone?

Why do we always have to find our way back home

Why do we all end up alone?

Why do we all end up dead drunk or stoned?

What I know is what I hear

The ringing in my ears is clear

A monkey’s got it made you see

Swinging from the vine of a coconut tree

Why do we all end up alone?

Why do we always have to find our way back home

Why do we all end up alone?

We gather no moss just like a rolling stone

Why do we all end up alone?

Why do we always have to find our way back home

Why do we all end up alone?

Why do we all wake up dead drunk or stoned

Dead drunk or stoned

Just like a rolling stone
