Been Alone So Long - Peter Hammill

Been alone so long

That I’ve forgotten what it’s like

To feel somebody next to me And hear her breathing peacefully

When I wake up at night.

Been alone so long

That I’ve forgotten what to say--

If I meet somebody who

Might easily resemble you

I smile, but look away…

I look away.

Been alone so long

That I’ve forgotten what to do:

How to make the whole thing right

And how to help if she’s uptight

And when to run and when to fight…

How to make her stay the night--

That’s if I ever knew.

Been alone so long

That I’ve forgotten what it’s like

To feel somebody next to me And hear her breathing peacefully

When I wake up at night

wake up at night
