On My Own - B.W. Stevenson

A beautiful song; not so great video, but....



If I don't see before I go
Remember what you've seen and what you know
Sunshine, you will be on my mind eternally
But you remember you and I'll remember me

I want to be on my own
It's a long way home
I feel like a baby boy
Just being born

If you find your true love once again
Please don't do the damn same thing to him
Even when I was with you, I felt so all alone
So I'd as soon do without you and be on my own

I want to be on my own
It's a long way home
I feel like a baby boy
Just being born

A captive of your heart, I guess I was
You gave no reason to stop loving me:just because
Well, you dragged yourself right down, you could not hear a sound
Just the tapping of your teardrops on the ground

I want to be on my own
It's a long way home
I feel like a baby boy
Just being born

Get outside your shell
Those things don't make you well
You're the broken part of a living fairy tale

I want to be on my own
It's a long way home
I feel like a baby boy
Just being born.



JUST got this CD in the mail today; my roomie in college turned me on to B.W. Stevenson and we'd go to sleep with one of his albums playing all night long. This is one of my favorites off the CD, along with "Texas Morning".
