We're All Alone - Boz Scaggs

Outside the rain begins and it may never end So cry no more on the shore A dream will take us out to sea Forever more forever more Close your eyes and dream And and you can be with me 'Neath the waves through the caves of hours Long forgotten now We're all alone We're all alone Close the window Calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out Let it all begin Learn how to pretend Once a story's told It can't help but grow old Roses do Lovers too So cast your seasons to the wind And hold me dear Oh, hold me dear Close the window Calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out Let it all begin All's forgotten now We're all alone Oh-oh, we're all alone Close the window Calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out Let it all begin Owe it to the wind, my love

Outside the rain begins And it may never end So cry no more on the shore a dream Will take us out to sea Forever more, forever more Close your eyes and dream And you can be with me 'Neath the waves, through the caves of hours Long forgotten now We're all alone We're all alone Close the window, calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin Learn how to pretend Once a story's told It can't help but grow old Roses do, lovers too So cast your seasons to the wind And hold me, dear Oh, hold me dear Close the window, calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin All's forgotten now We're all alone Oh, we're all alone Close the window, calm the light And it will be alright No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin Owe it to the wind, my love

I remember when I used to be innocent, ain't shit changed I'm a young black belligerent Child of an immigrant, lifestyle frivolous 'Round here we keep bad company cah them people pay dividends What's the point of bein' rich when your family ain't? It's like flyin' first class on a crashin' plane Dinners with the same niggas, just higher bills And all the models Himalayan, they got higher heels We're all alone in this together, right? (Quiet on set, places everybody) You know the seats in the Aston red leather, like (And action) yeah I had dreams of doin' architecture Or sittin' through a Harvard lecture How the fuck I end up bein' Harvey Specter? Young black art collector, I could take the pressure Had the scales, now suits that come made to measure I drew the thin line between love and hate Double date, what you drinkin'? Let me cut the games Backstabbin' man, I'd rather that you cut my face If I ain't charmin' to women, it's all the fuckin' snakes You idolize the girl, there's no way I wife her She only fucks with rich niggas, that's the way I like it I can't fabricate the truth, it's just the way I write it You got points on your creative license Ask Rapz, that's a criminal graduatin' in civil law Nothin' ain't civil 'bout the Civil War Grip a four, Gryffindor, this'll have you lyin' on your chest I got 99 marks, I wasn't tryin' on my test I'm blessed (why?) Because the pasta is gamberoni, the watch is a classic Rollie The pussy is sacred, it's holy, like matrimony I'm payin' the alimony to numb all the acrimony The flight is to Santorini, the car is a Lamborghini The cheese, the cheddar, the mozzarella, the fettuccini the only aim Look at my ego in the daily life You see what happens when you got the fuckin' game in a vice We're all alone I got a message from a kid on Sunday mornin' Said he don't know what to do And that he's thinkin' of killin' himself Me and him got more in common than he thinks But I tell him to see a shrink, so I can go on and live with myself I knew that my life was a film From when I had to share a bed with my mum and I was pissin' myself I just want my flowers while I'm here So I can put them at the front of the grave That I've been diggin' myself I grew up in a two-bed flat with seven people livin' with me You don't know what I did for myself My mum's the one that gave me opportunities And put me in positions that I couldn't have pictured myself We're from Nigeria, Benin City, Sin City Don't know what it's like? Take a trip for yourself Poverty's killin' us, the government's killin' us If they ain't killin' us, then we're killin' ourselves I would die for the niggas I love My life's full of plotholes, and I'm fillin' 'em up I told mummy, "I ain't nothin' like my father" I'ma show her there's a different definition to love I tell my fans we're all alone in this together You can trust me All the shit you been feelin', you're feelin' with me We all the took the wrong turns in different streets We all cry the same tears on different cheeks I got a message from a kid on Monday mornin' Said he's grateful I responded and he's feelin' at peace with himself Me and him got more in common than he thinks But I tell him it's nothin' big, so I can go on and live with myself I knew that God would cast me as the leader Somethin' special when he messaged me and told me that I saved his life In 23 years, I done so much wrong But in that moment, I just felt like I had made it right (Hey Dave, it's Mollie Cowen) (Um, we sent to you a, um, movie) (An NDA to sign, um, in an e-mail and also by DocuSign) (For, um, a movie called... um, which... is directing with...) (Nina Gold is casting) (Ehm, there's very little info that we have) (But, um) (I think we definitely want to put our hat in the ring for and go for) (If there is a way in which you could do a take out there) (Please have a look and get back right away, thanks, bye)

What about the one who said he loved you? What about the one who said he cared? Don't bother trying to find him Way up in the icy air Oh, you played with his heartstrings And you played without a care But not up in the High Sierra You won't play his heart out there The angels lay their clouds across his sky They line up for him every night Some have wings and others sing The rest do lazy ballets in the air There he's got a bird to give him warning And he's got a lookout too The beauty of the High Sierra And she's looking out for you The angels lay their clouds across his sky They line up for him every night Some have wings and others sing The rest do lazy ballets in the air What about the one who said he loved you? What about the one who said he cared? He's off in the High Sierra But don't bother looking there

Cause of fear is fear itself Check out your own back yard Before you check out someone else Railroad tracks in my neighborhood Ain't no trains around, that boy just ain't no good Wanna know what's going down And the pimp on the corner Looks like the sharpest cat in town Jungle rule, can't be no fool Might get caught by the hook or the crook Hot time for cool (hot time for cool) Look out Jake what you say What you carrying brother I hope you're clean cause the man is mean Don't have another brother We all know the answer will come out in time I might even carry some of your load along with mine Thank you ma'am, mister please But I must be Hercules (must be Hercules) Must be Hercules (must be Hercules) Like a bird on the wing I just wanna be free enough to do my thing I can feel the pressure on every side If you not gonna help, don't hurt, just pass me by Hercules (Hercules) Must be must be Hercules (must be must be Hercules) Jungle rules, can't be no fool The devil is on the loose, no cool Got your feet in the sand Got to be down with the cats around And you still gotta face that man Talk about me if you please Must be Hercules (must be Hercules) Must be Hercules (must be Hercules) Pitching rocks catching stones How can I survive, what's going on Beg, steal, borrow Somehow I've gotta make it 'til tomorrow Just like Hercules (just like Hercules) Thank you ma'am, mister please Must be Hercules (must be Hercules) Must be Hercules (must be Hercules) Talk about me Must be Hercules (must be Hercules)

Skylark Have you anything to say to me? Won't you tell me where my love can be? Is there a meadow in the mist Where someone's longing to be kissed? Skylark Have you seen a valley green with spring Where my heart can go a-journeying? Over the shadows and the rain To a blossom covered lane And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music in the night? Wonderful music, faint as a will o' the wisp Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy Serenading the moon Oh Skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there? And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music in the night? Wonderful music, faint as a will o' the wisp Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy Serenading the moon Oh Skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there? Oh Skylark I don't know if you can find these things
