alone together

Chet Baker

Can t stand your present job, afraid of getting fired
Depressed? Staring at the late night tube
You could call that number
But you d just get someone just like you

Well, I feel that way too
Just the same as you
Like it s getting worse before it s getting better
I ve got troubles of my own
But as long as you re alone
Stick with me and we ll be alone together

Beer is warm, dinner s cold and greasy
Even when life isn t hard it always seems uneasy
All alone, nobody seems to care
Everybody s got some place
And you don t fit in anywhere

You wonder, will you always have to live in doubt
Sometimes you feel just
Like Hank Williams used to sing about
Through the window, the night s so still
And if you listen you can hear
That lonesome whippoorwill

Can t stand your present job, afraid of getting fired
Depressed? Staring at the late night tube
