lyrics
I wander 'round the town now
Feeling disconnected
Everyone I know has gone away
Thousands of years ago now
Jesus was resurrected
And I am all alone this Easter Sunday
I think that there is something wrong with me but I can't name it
'Though I have looked for the word everywhere
Something that I once had has now been lost 'cause I failed to claim it
To have then not to have is just too much to bear
There are people - someone else's people - in my usual places
The spaces where my friends I used to see
These people dress and sound familiar but they have different faces
I do not know these people and they don't know me
I go into a hotel
I buy a gin and tonic
I watch people arrive and disappear
I think about the planet
And of how I am on it...
I'm not miserable
It's a miracle that I'm here
Feeling disconnected
Everyone I know has gone away
Thousands of years ago now
Jesus was resurrected
And I am all alone this Easter Sunday
I think that there is something wrong with me but I can't name it
'Though I have looked for the word everywhere
Something that I once had has now been lost 'cause I failed to claim it
To have then not to have is just too much to bear
There are people - someone else's people - in my usual places
The spaces where my friends I used to see
These people dress and sound familiar but they have different faces
I do not know these people and they don't know me
I go into a hotel
I buy a gin and tonic
I watch people arrive and disappear
I think about the planet
And of how I am on it...
I'm not miserable
It's a miracle that I'm here
