Alone In My Mind (For Mannington Bowes)

I dreamt me a love, made her true
I sent away my love too soon
When I was alone in my mind
I rowed an ocean and I sank ashore
Saw an evil in an English war
When I was alone in my mind
I built a city and bore a son,
lost touch with almost everyone
When I was alone in my mind
Oh bare naked I ran a mile
Saw a seagul with a simple smile
When I was alone in my mind
I met my mirror and turned away
All the color in my eyes turned grey
When I was alone in my mind
Oh I’m a swimmer and I do it well
I’ll still be swimming when the ice caps melt
When I was alone in my mind
So I stood screaming to a God above
With no money I was no damned good
Only alone in my mind
Oh and from the jetty I heard the news
Bowes had died a thousand years too soon
To be alone in his mind
So I wrote a letter to the sun
And I asked her if she loved someone
Oh I was alone in my mind
I met her lover, he was the moon
Took away the light to soon
To be alone
Never mind
