Alone But Not Alone

I'm ^D#stretched out like a ^G#canvas '^D#neath a blue and endless ^G#sky ^D#Staring up through ^Cmcattle bones as ^Bbcotton balls roll by I ^D#swear I see a ^G#rose up there so ^D#beautiful and w^G#hite If ^D#I so much as ^Cmblink an eye I could ^Bblose her in this light

^G#Out here in this deserted land the fu^Bbture looks so vast ^G#Like every little grain of sand and ev^Bbery blade of grass

I'm a^D#lone^G# but not a^D#lone ^CmSomething inside me is ^G#trying to guide me ^D#on my long way back home I'm a^D#lone^G# but not al^D#one

Only with these stolen words can I unpack my heart While you rise from the ashes I feel free in the dark I swear I feel your humid breath so soft inside my ear The day they lay my soul to rest I swear I'll meet you there Out here on this great expanse the wind cries over my head At night I hear the natives dance in circles round my bed I'm alone but not alone Something quite near me is trying to steer me It's a long way back home

I'm a^D#lone^G# but not a^D#lone ^G#Goodbye Cali^Bbfornia, ^G#Goodbye Tenne^Bbssee, ^G#Goodbye sweet Caro^Bblina, don't ^G#worry about ^Bbme

I'm alone but not alone Something so strong is leading me on my long way back home I'm alone but not alone by: José Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com
