WAKING UP ALONE (Paul Williams)
DI took my chances on a F#mone way ticket home
EmGrowing tired of strangers and the kGmind of life I'd known
Thought the tDime for settling F#mdown had come at lAast
Guess I hoDped to find my fF#muture in the pAast
DWalk me with me darling where the wF#mheat fields used to be
EmI will tell you stories of my tGmimes across the sea
You're the legeDnday F#mgirl I left behAind
Can't beDgin to count the tF#mimes you crossed my mAind
And Boh your Ebmchildren well the youG#ngest looks just like you
EmShe's a picture of her mother
And there'll nGmever be another
Quite like yDou F#m
You're an anGgel and a tAime that I don't kDnow any F#mmore Em
So good niAght I'll take my meDmories to F#mbed
You kEmnow that be waAking up alDone F#m D
I should have noticed that the years were slipping by
Still you're just as lovely as the day we said goodbye
Like an old familiar poem that just won't rhymn
I could get back to ther place but not the time
and oh your children well the youngest looks just like you
She's the picture of her mother
and there'll never be another quite like you
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore
And so goodnight
I'll take my memories to bed
And know that I'll be waking up alone
Posting the best in Power Pop!
