Alone as I sit and watch the trees
|
Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me
|
And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come
|
Or will you laugh at me
|
Or will I run
|
|
Little boy says to me,
|
"Where you goin' now son"
|
I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy
|
I only know where I'm from"
|
And it makes me wonder
|
If the stars shine when my eyes close
|
Or does my brothers heart cry
|
I don't know
|
|
I'm a stranger in my home
|
Now that everybody's gone
|
Someone please talk to me
|
Cause I feel you cry
|
And you're sitting with him
|
And I know I'll never see you again
|
|
Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
|
You see I'm tired of feeling this pain
|
I'm tired of living my own little lie
|
And it makes me wonder
|
When I see you in my dreams
|
Does it mean anything
|
Are you trying to talk to me
|
|
I'm a stranger in my home
|
Tell me are you feeling alone
|
Someone tell me what to do
|
'Cause I'm feeling strong
|
And I wonder how you feel
|
Do you realize my pain is for real
|
I see you in my dreams
|
And I wonder if you're looking down at me
|
And smiling right now
|
Oh yeah I wanna know if it's true
|
When he looks at me
|
Won't you tell me
|
Does he realize he came down here
|
And he took you too soon
|
|
And now my days are short an my nights are long
|
I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on
|
It makes me wonder as I sit and stare
|
Will I see your face again
|
Tell me, do you care
|
I'm a sinner in my home
|
Living life on my own
|
Right now I just can't see
|
'Cause i'm feeling weak
|
And my soul begins to bleed
|
And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
|
