(Al Stewart)



Did you ever have the feeling

You're the only person living in the world

And people that you see

Are one-dimensional and never there at all

Even just the commonplace

Warm familiar greetings are a lie

Their voices and their faces are as empty

As the space beyond the sky



Marilyn is walking with her scarf

Around her head against the rain

The doorways and the shops fill up with people

And it's pouring down again

A man with an umbrella seems to see her

But he turns and looks away

And nothing really matters 'cause there's

Nothing that she wants to do or say



CHORUS

In the real and unreal

In the real and unreal



As she puts the key inside the door

She's just an ordinary girl

Did you ever have the feeling

You're the only person living in the world



CHORUS



Tomorrow comes around

And yet she doesn't feel a part of it all

Did you ever have the feeling

You're the only person living in the world

Only person living in the world

Only person living in the world
