CAN’T STAND TO BE ALONE:

© 1988 by Lydia Glider-Shelley
In the darkness shadows come to life
And they seem to have a mind of their own

It’s the starkness in the hour before the light
And I know why I can’t stand to be alone

I’m only afraid of my deep roots’ fear
But it’s hardest when you’ve got no one to talk to
I’ve got it made, sometimes I feel ten feet tall
But I’m just being prepared for what I’ve got to do

And I can’t stand to be alone at night
I can’t stand to be alone

You don’t know me, my love, at all
‘ though there really isn’t anyone to blame…
and I can’t see why I’m taking the fall
back into a long best lost forgotten game

but I can’t stand to be alone at night
I can’t stand to be alone

‘cause if I’m left alone
I might just lose my courage to continue on
While I chase the shadows through until the dawn

No I just can’t stand to be alone
