One Sided Convention
Gene Watson · Reflections [1978]
(Joe Allen)
If I must live alone I'd rather do it by myself
For I've never known a mirror to shake its head and turn and walk away
And looking at myself and all the things that I believe in
Left dying in the silence of the things you never say.
And sleeping by myself somehow I've never held you
Oh I wish I'd knew the reason cause surely there's an answer to it all
Talking to myself and something else that I've grown used to
One sided conversation with a narrow minded wall.
Talk to me oh can't you see
That I can't bear to get my dream to someone
Who would stand and let it fall.
Vision to myself I'm the only one that holds me
And one sided conversations with a narrow minded wall.
And one sided conversations with a narrow minded wall...
If I must live alone I'd rather do it by myself
For I've never known a mirror to shake its head and turn and walk away
And looking at myself and all the things that I believe in
Left dying in the silence of the things you never say.
And sleeping by myself somehow I've never held you
Oh I wish I'd knew the reason cause surely there's an answer to it all
Talking to myself and something else that I've grown used to
One sided conversation with a narrow minded wall.
Talk to me oh can't you see
That I can't bear to get my dream to someone
Who would stand and let it fall.
Vision to myself I'm the only one that holds me
And one sided conversations with a narrow minded wall.
And one sided conversations with a narrow minded wall...
