Been Alone So Long Lyrics

Peter Hammill Been Alone So Long

Been alone so long that I've forgotten what it's like to feel somebody next to me and hear her breathing peacefully when I wake up at night.

Been alone so long that I've forgotten what to say - if I meet somebody who might easily resemble you I smile, but look away... I look away.

Been alone so long that I've forgotten what to do: how to make the whole thing right and how to help if she's uptight and when to run and when to fight... how to make her stay the night - that's if I ever knew.

Been alone so long that I've forgotten what it's like to feel somebody next to me and hear her breathing peacefully when I wake up at night, wake up at night
