(R.Mckuen)

[Recorded March 20, 1969, Hollywood]



In me, you see a man alone

Held by the habit of being on his own

A man who listens to the trembling of the trees

With sentimental ease



In me, you see a man alone

Behind the wall he's learned to call his home

A man who still goes walkin' in the rain

Expecting love again



A man not lonely except when the dark comes on

A man learning to live with mem'ries of midnights that fell apart at dawn



In me, you see a man alone

Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone

A man who knows love is seldom what it seems

Only other people's dreams



[instrumental-strings]



A man learning to live with memories of midnights that fell apart at dawn



In me, you see a man alone

Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone

A man who knows love is seldom what it seems

Just other people's dreams
