Building the Barricade / On My Own - Live

[00:44.47] And now I'm all alone again nowhere to turn, no one to go to
[00:51.85] without a home without a friend without a face to say hello to
[00:57.98] And now the night is near
[01:00.64] Now I can make believe he's here
[01:07.42] Sometimes I walk alone at night
[01:09.43] When everybody else is sleeping
[01:13.68] I think of him and then I'm happy
[01:16.08] With the company I'm keeping
[01:19.74] The city goes to bed
[01:23.26] And I can live inside my head
[01:31.25] On my own
[01:35.68]
[01:39.64] Pretending he's beside me
[01:44.70] All alone
[01:48.16] I walk with him till morning
[01:53.01] Without him
[01:56.77] I feel his arms around me
[02:01.03] And when I lose my way I close my eyes
[02:04.48] And he has found me
[02:07.21] In the rain the pavement shines like silver
[02:16.64] All the lights are misty in the river
[02:24.42] In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
[02:32.92] And all I see is him and me forever and forever
[02:38.87] And I know it's only in my mind
[02:46.46] That I'm talking to myself and not to him
[02:52.35] And although I know that he is blind
[02:59.31] Still I say, there's a way for us
[03:05.37] I love him
[03:07.62] But when the night is over
[03:12.19] He is gone
[03:13.63] The river's just a river
[03:17.92] Without him
[03:20.27] The world around me changes
[03:23.69] The trees are bare and everywhere
[03:25.30] The streets are full of strangers
[03:29.01] I love him
[03:31.82] But every day I'm learning
[03:36.12] All my life
[03:38.70] I've only been pretending
[03:43.49] Without me
[03:44.96] His world will go on turning
[03:48.76] A world that's full of happiness
[03:50.64] That I have never known
[03:56.51] I love him
[04:00.77] I love him
[04:05.91] I love him
[04:08.69]
[04:10.92] But only on my own
[04:21.33]
