All By Myself

Words & Music by Tom Tognaci

https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15111275 

 I deal with the loneliness  

Like combing fresh cut hair  

I convince myself that I’m alright  

 I can deal with the solitude  

And the echo from upstairs  

Now that the ghost is gone, I’m alright  

 

I’d rather be alone and by myself

Than to be alone, while being with someone else

All by myself

Stowed way up high on some dusty shelf

All by myself

Just me, an island, onto itself

 

 Some nights I reminisce  

Back and forth in this old chair  

Is it worth the lament?.is it really fair?  

 Black and blue is the emptiness  

With a woman who can’t care  

One thing that stands out, now, completely clear 

I’d rather be alone and by myself

Than to be alone, while being with someone else

All by myself

Stowed way up high on some dusty shelf

All by myself

Just me, an island, onto itself

 

  Some nights I reminisce  

Back and forth in this old chair  

Is it worth the lament?.is it really fair?   

All I need is my poetry  

And the music that I play  

To stretch these untamed wings and fly away

"I’d rather be alone and by myself

Than to be alone, while being with someone else"

Yeah, that hits hard. Wonderful lines.

And a great melody and sound to go with it.

Good stuff Tom.
