Song of the Day

We're all Alone
(Boz Scaggs)

Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
For ever more
For ever more

Close your eyes and dream
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves
Through the caves of ours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone
We're all alone

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Learn how to pretend

Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do, lovers too, so cast
Your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear
Oh hold me dear

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone
All alone

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Throw it to the wind my love
Hold me dear

All's forgotten now my love
We're all alone...


(The lyrics are slightly different, depending on who and when this song has been recorded. This version works for me the best. I love the sublimely warm voice of Rita Coolidge singing this.)
