Scott Malcom: Music
i'm not alone
Written in August of 2004, I'm Not Alone tells a story of immense uncertainty after the demise of a long-term relationship, and the comfort of a friend who helped Scott along the way.
Is anybody out there? Can anybody see me?
Why does this whirlwind seem to blow right through me?
And you can knock me over with your funny laurel leaf.
I'm looking for my four-leaf clover. Bring some luck to me.
Is anybody out there? Can anybody hear me?
Why does everybody's words of wisdom turn into cacophony?
And the silence is deafening when everybody turns to leave.
They tell me that I will get better given my time to grieve.
REFRAIN
But suddenly my world stopped spinning as we looked up at the stars.
A fleeting moment of clarity and things didn't seem so hard.
Compassion was your gift to me and my heart began to heal.
I'm tied up in this purgatory and I don't know how to feel,
but it helps me to know I'm not alone.
Is anybody out there? I want someone to touch me.
Can you hold me until the morning then just let me be?
'Cause loving me is dangerous. The message is duplicity.
I wonder when I'll get better and end this gravity.
One small step we said, One step in any direction.
