Verse 1:         When I heard that he had left you, I had nineteen different feelings on my mind;

The strongest one was pain, for I knew he had hurt you pretty bad this time.

And I thought, “That man’s a fool for walking out on the most lovely love I lost.”

I also couldn’t help but wonder how we might get through

In the Land They Call Alone … and at what cost.

 

Verse 2:         Now I know these times are hard for you with all the many changes you must face,

And I admire your resolution to get through it and put pieces back in place.

But you tell me now you’re on your own and have to waste the day all by yourself;

Although when the evening comes we share a splash of wine or two

                                    In the Land They Call Alone … and I can help.

 

Chorus:           You’ll be fine, that much I can tell;

                        Right now it seems your loneliness is the kind nobody else has ever known.

                        But in time your heart will get well,

                        And you can join the company of those of us who survived

                                    In the Land They Call Alone.

 

(Brief instrumental interlude)

 

Verse 3:         You say you enjoy my music, well it’s nice to know there’s something I can do;

But if history repeats itself, I fear that he’ll be coming back for you.

And if he does, I hope you won’t go thinking he has quit his hurting ways;

For if you stay the time may come when love can be renewed

            In the Land They Call Alone … no need for haste.

 

(Repeat chorus)
