Letra Been Alone So Long de Peter Hammill original

Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what it's like
to feel somebody next to me
and hear her breathing peacefully
when I wake up at night.
Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what to say--
if I meet somebody who
might easily resemble you
I smile, but look away...
I look away.
Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what to do:
how to make the whole thing right
and how to help if she's uptight
and when to run and when to fight...
how to make her stay the night--
that's if I ever knew.
Been alone so long
that I've forgotten what it's like
to feel somebody next to me
and hear her breathing peacefully
when I wake up at night
wake up at night
