Gently my eyelids close, I'd rather be good than clever 
 
 I'd rather have all facts wrong than no reply whatever.. 
 
 I learned before I could speak with those "being patient eyes" 
 
 When God created my kind. But he forgot to tell me why 
 
 So gently my eyelids close.. 
 
 All alone, at home I sit - I'm very tired of it 
 
 Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad 
 
 I lost the thread I thought I had... 
 
  
  Led by hearts & ears - memory lagging behind 
 
 No shame being a fool, I got many things on my mind 
 
 Pick up the phone on first riiiing - I never get out anymore.. 
 
 There's nowhere to go, but back and 
 
 there's quicksand outside my door 
 
 So gently my eyelids close 
 
 All alone, at home I sit - I'm very tired of it 
 
 Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad 
 
 I lost the thread I thought I had.. I lost it - I lost it. Yeah!
  
 
 Is that a shadow - or a hole in the floor? 
 
 And what's that noise outside my door?? 
 
 Home alone. On my own.. And all alone...
