A Man Alone

A Man Alone
music and lyric by Rod McKuen

In me you see a man alone held by the habit of being on his own.

A man who listens to the trembling of the trees with sentimental ease.

In me you see a man alone behind the wall he's learned to call his home.

A man who still goes walking in the rain, expecting love again.

A man not lonely except when the dark comes on.

A man learning to live with memories of midnights that fell apart at dawn.

In me you see a man alone drinking up Sundays and spending them alone.

A man who knows love is seldom what it seems; only other people's dreams.

A man learning to live with memories of midnights that fell apart at dawn.

In me you see a man alone drinking up Sundays and spending them alone.

A man who knows love is seldom what it seems;

Just other people's dreams...
