Alone In The Dark Lyrics

John Hiatt Alone In The Dark

It's a lonely picture of an empty glass
It's a still life study of a drunken ass
And he howls at the moon
Hoping the sun don't come up too fast

I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone on my knees at last
Alone in the dark

It's extreme self pity and frozen fear
'Cause I want you with me and you're not here
So I rub my nose in it, babe
'Til the roses smell just like death

I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone and drawing whiskey 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
I'm all alone
I'm all alone, I'm all alone

Since the night you left
I just couldn't stand myself anyway

I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone on my knees at last
Alone in the dark

I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone in the dark now baby
I'm all alone on my knees at last
Alone in the dark
