Larry Klein

He made me laugh
He made me cry
He smoked his doggies in bed
But I`m all right
I`m all right
I`ve been lonely before

I asked the boy for a few kind words
He gave me a novel instead
But I`m all right
I`m all right
I`ve been lonely before

It`s fine, it`s OK
It was wrong either way
I just wanted to say
There isn`t much fun when you`re drinking wine
He got drunk, he fell down
He threw a few of my things around
But I`m all right
I`m all right
I`ve been lonely before

I`d like to believe healthy cigarettes
But I have to conceive that wherever you are
You`re still driving my car
Sticks and stones break my bones
But tears don`t leave any scars
So I`m all alright
I`m all alright
I`ve been lonely before

Mmm...
I`m all alright
I`m all alright
I`m all alright
Yeah
He played solitaire in bed
Used to blow bubbles in bed
He sang Christmas songs in bed

There's a lamp that won't light
in my poetry room,
and children out playing,
and a big full moon.
My man's barricaded there in his womb.
He'll be coming out soon.
I remember when I met him,
he blew in like the wind.
No one was more beautiful
or dangerous than him.
He blew through my soul
like a tangerine wind.
He'll be coming out soon.

I never knew I
was built so strong.
My heart,
my heart is a boat on the sea.
I never thought I
was built for hurricanes.
My heart,
my heart is a boat on the sea.

Luxury looms on a fog bound day,
I'm not alone now and I'm not afraid.
I'm clean and I'm free. It's all stripped away.
My debts are paid.
I wonder if he ever looks down on the sea
and thinks about the time
he spent with me.
I know everything's exactly how it has to be.
All's right with this world.

I never knew I
was built so strong.
My heart,
my heart is a boat on the sea.
I never thought I
was built for hurricanes.
My heart,
my heart is a boat on the sea.

In the cold and the dark,
you're the grace of my heart.
In the cold and the dark,
you're the grace of my heart.
In the cold and the dark,
you're the grace of my heart.

Off ion the distance
A cool wind is blowing
I'm not who I was
And I'm not where I'm going
I'm so tired of knowing
That there's no way of knowing
You left me stranded
Between two worlds
You turned me into a mixed up girl
You left me stranded between two worlds
Two worlds
Is it nicer where you are?
Do you ever think of me?
Is it easier now
That you don't have to love me?
Like a fool I allowed you
To coddle and drug me
And the you left me stranded
Between two worlds
You turned me into a mixed up girl
You left me stranded between two worlds
Two worlds
A weak shadow of death
Across a bowl of bitter milk
I borrowed symbols
On my funeral silk
Reflections of you
In each fall's drooling rain
And still you stay with me
Like a knife in my brain
You left me stranded
Between two worlds
You turned me into a mixed up girl
You left me stranded between two worlds
Two worlds
Two worlds

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in her wake
And if I'm strong I might still break
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air

* That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength

I can't hold onto god give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth

* repeat

God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe her from my memory
Fracture the spell as she becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
I want him to hurt

Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending

* Repeat
