Verse My light has gone, the world spun on I threw myself away Into a bag the army had And died in its green shape The drunks, your dog, a whirling log These things that I won't say They all provide a darker side These things, they keep me gray Oh don't you cry We're only alone for one life Oh don't you cry We're only alone for one life Verse I lost my love, my wooden dove She broke then went away She flew outside in white moonlight That dove, she made me great We have a child, she got my smile She got most everything I'd apologize for a missed life If I just knew her name Oh don't you cry We're only alone for one life Oh don't you cry We're only alone for one life Oh don't you cry We're only alone for one life Oh don't you cry We're only alone for one life We're only alone for one life We're only alone
