Lyrics

WHEN I'M ALONE

THERE'S A FEELING THAT I GET WHEN I'M ALONE;
NO WORRIES OR REGRETS WHEN I'M ALONE;
NO ONE I GOTTA' PLEASE; NO CRAWLIN' ON MY KNEES;
AN' IT'S EASIER TO BREATHE WHEN I'M ALONE;

(CHORUS):
WHEN I'M ALONE, I CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN;
I GET THAT FEELING LIKE NONE I'VE EVER KNOWN;
SERENITY AND PEACE; MY TROUBLES SEEM TO CEASE;
MY WORLD IS SO AT PEACE WHEN I'M ALONE.

IT'S SUCH A PLEASANT TIME WHEN I'M ALONE;
NO TROUBLES ON MY MIND, WHEN I'M ALONE;
NO SUFFERING OR PAIN; NO NEED FOR GUILT OR BLAME;
IT'S LIKE SHELTER FROM THE RAIN WHEN I'M ALONE.

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I STILL NEED OTHER PEOPLE;
YOU CAN'T LIVE YOUR LIFE IN TOTAL SOLITUDE;
BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN THE WALLS ARE CLOSIN' IN,
I NEED A PLACE WHERE NO ONE CAN INTRUDE.

MY DAYS ARE SOLID GOLD WHEN I'M ALONE;
AN' SUNLIGHT FILLS MY SOUL WHEN I'M ALONE;
NO ROOM FOR DOUBT OR FEAR; THE CLOUDS ALL DISAPPEAR;
I SEE IT ALL SO CLEAR WHEN I'M ALONE.

(CHORUS / TAG)
