(music intro)
Speaks:
How can you say something new
about being alone,
Tell somebody you're a loner?
Right away they think you're
lonely,
It's not the same thing, you
know.
It's not wanting to put all your
marbles in one pocket.
And that's caring enough not to
care too much.
Mostly, I guess it's letting
yourself come first for a while.
(music interlude)
One day, I'm gonna find me an
island, a think place,
Go there with a mess of records
and a ukalele,
Just sit strumming, I might even
do some thinking,
About the women and the towns
that I left behind.
(music to the end)
