I'm Alone Now

Time and love and a whippoorwill One passing one gone and one lonesome still Bare naked rain of a silverless cloud I'm alone now Everyone's talking about your new friend With that old mime smile and the elephant pant Legs like a rampeatus(?) standing over the crown I'm alone now But baby I've got a melody And I've got a few things to say about you and me And an old heavy heart that ain't ready to leave It's here but I don't know how to be alone now Coffee at dawn and a big mess of eggs Running the morning hours down to the drags Drunk with fidelity and reading old vowes I'm alone now Talk about peace in the valley and mules in the grass Feet at the threshold and brains in the past I've got my hand in my ears for that mockingbird song And I'm alone now But baby I've got a melody And I've got a few things to say about you and me And an old heavy heart that ain't ready to leave It's here and I don't know how to be alone now
