Lyrics Alone In The Dark - John Hiatt

Alone In The Dark

Its a lonely picture
Of an empty glass
Its a still life study
Of a drunken ass
And he howls at the moon
Hoping the sun dont come up too fast
Im all alone in the dark now baby
Im all alone in the dark now baby
Im all alone on my knees at last
Alone in the dark
Its extreme self pity
And frozen fear
cause I want you with me And youre not here
So I rub my nose in it babe
til the roses smell just like death
Im all alone in the dark now baby
Im all alone in the dark now baby
Im al alone and drawing whisky breath
Alone in the dark
My head is spinning baby what went wrong
I swear to God I tried
Just turned around one day and you were gone
Now these tears I have to cry
Alone in the dark baby, Im all alone,
Im all alone, Im all alone
Since the night you left
I just couldnt stand myself anyway
Chorus #1 twice
