Waking Up Alone Lyrics - Soul, David

I took my chances on a one-way ticket home
Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I've known
Thought the time for settling down had come at last
Yes I hoped to find a future in my past

Walk with me Darling where the wheat fields used to be
And I will tell you stories of my time across the sea
You're the legendary girl I'd left behind
Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind

And all your children ah - the youngest looks just like you
She's the picture of her mother
But there'll never be another quite like you

You're an angel and the time
That I don't know anymore and so good night
I'll take my memories to bed and know
That I'll be waking up alone

I should have noticed that the years were slipping by
Still you're just as lovely as the day we said goodbye
Like an old familiar poem that still not rhyme
I could get back to the place but not the time

You're an angel and the time
That I don't know anymore and so good night
I'll take my memories to bed and know
That I'll be waking up alone
