Thinking & Feeling

“The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.” Horace Walpole

Alone

Keane - Atlantic

...

I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid

I don't wanna be old and sleep alone
An empty house is not a home
I don't wanna be old and feel afraid

And if I need anything at all

I need a place
That's hidden in the deep
Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
Though all the world is broken

I need a place
Where I can make my bed
A lover's lap where I can lay my head
Cos now the room is spinning
The day's beginning

    I sit and wait
    Does an angel contemplate my fate
    And do they know
    The places where we go
    When we're grey and old
    'cos I have been told
    That salvation lets their wings unfold
    So when I'm lying in my bed
    Thoughts running through my head
    And I feel the love is dead
    I'm loving angels instead

    And through it all she offers me protection
    A lot of love and affection
    Whether I'm right or wrong
    And down the waterfall
    Wherever it may take me
    I know that life won't break me
    When I come to call she won't forsake me
    I'm loving angels instead

    When I'm feeling weak
    And my pain walks down a one way street
    I look above
    And I know I'll always be blessed with love
    And as the feeling grows
    She breathes flesh to my bones
    And when love is dead
    I'm loving angels instead

    And through it all she offers me protection
    A lot of love and affection
    Whether I'm right or wrong
    And down the waterfall
    Wherever it may take me
    I know that life won't break me
    When I come to call she won't forsake me
    I'm loving angels instead

    And through it all she offers me protection
    A lot of love and affection
    Whether I'm right or wrong
    And down the waterfall
    Wherever it may take me
    I know that life won't break me
    When I come to call she won't forsake me
    I'm loving angels instead
