We're All in This Thing Alone

(Tom T. Hall)



(Hey there) you know she left me

(Hey there) I've been crying

In a boat on a plane in a train in a house by the phone

(Hey there) we're all in this thing alone.



You can't smile for me I can't cry for you

We can't be alone together that makes two

Like trees that fall in forest no one hears

Crying done alone don't call for tears.



(Hey there) you know she left me

(Hey there) I've been crying

In a boat on a plane in a train in a house by the phone

(Hey there) we're all in this thing alone.

Ain't it strange how we think money knows when Friday comes

Calls don't know bout Sunday and our heartaches twice as done

It hurts although it's killed you thorugh and through

My eyes all red from tears aren't really blue.



(Hey there) you know she left me

(Hey there) I've been crying

In a boat on a plane in a train in a house by the phone

(Hey there) we're all in this thing alone...
