You thought I was sound asleep But worries kept me wide awake And thinking of a promise that I knew you would break Leaving me lonely What can I do Knowing it’s all because freedom calls And makes you dream of something new I watched you getting dressed And wondering where you left your coat I saw you sneaking around the room and writing that note Telling me something I should have known Cause of this feeling I’ve had The last few weeks whenever you were near Your heart wasn’t here
One way or another You’ll be back before long Though you think you will not Someday you’ll discover Life is not what you once Might have thought it would be And then in case you need a friend around You know the place where I can be found So like a bird uncaged You only answered nature’s call But sooner or later freedom will be taking its toll Leaving you lonely What can you do Other than turning around I just can’t wait to hear your knock on my door Living alone is a bore
