Alone In the Dark

Alone In the Dark - John Hiatt Lyrics

It's a lonely picture of an empty glass

It's a still life study of a drunken ass

And he howls at the moon

Hoping the sun don't come up too fast



I'm all alone in the dark now baby

I'm all alone in the dark now baby

I'm all alone on my knees at last

Alone in the dark



It's extreme self pity and frozen fear

'Cause I want you with me and you're not here

So I rub my nose in it, babe

'Til the roses smell just like death



I'm all alone in the dark now baby

I'm all alone in the dark now baby

I'm all alone and drawing whiskey breath

Alone in the dark



My head is spinning baby what went wrong

I swear to God I tried

Just turned around one day and you were gone

Now these tears I have to cry



Alone in the dark, baby

I'm all alone

I'm all alone, I'm all alone



Since the night you left

I just couldn't stand myself anyway



I'm all alone in the dark now baby

I'm all alone in the dark now baby

I'm all alone on my knees at last

Alone in the dark



I'm all alone in the dark now baby

I'm all alone in the dark now baby

I'm all alone on my knees at last

Alone in the dark
