Joseph crying on the floor, he didn’t know I was awake
Sunlight tapping at the door, filling the room with heartache
Love is a piano and you said you were the keys
Love is a wind sweeping through branches of autumn leaves
I am alive and I am not alone
Can you hear the echo? Can I knock on your door?
Joseph got us a room in Amsterdam, thought I’d like it there
Find your picture in my wallet, and I wish you were here
Fame has a funny way of dragging people down
When I hear your voice on the radio the static makes such an empty sound
I am alive and I am not alone
And darling you lied when you said I was the last one
All along the canal, the tulips are in bloom
I lay down by the water, count the petals they lead to you
What were they thinking the one who said, ‘time erases pain’?
‘Cause I’ve been scratching the surface for years and nothing really has changed
I am alive and I am not alone
And sometimes at night, I remember who you really were
