Here on Welbeck street The party must move on Twirling my umbrella Stepping lightly past the thrum Lonely as a child That lives among old men Lonely as the body Left behind when souls have fled Left behind when souls have fled Alone, alone, alone, alone Through the streets of London I once called you home Alone, alone, alone, alone City made of gray Bloodshot with buses Carry them away To old, familiar places I worked hand in glove Pouring out my love And if I’ve been betrayed Will you spin me on my way Will you spin me on my way Alone, alone, alone, alone Through the streets of London I once called you home Alone, alone, alone, alone Well that’s a world away From where I stand today My heart is heavy as a stone And I was lead astray Now I’m bewildered and alone In the city Ten million strong Here I am alone
