4. Isn't it Quiet and Cold? (3:53)
Isn't it quiet and cold walking all alone, alone?
Happened I missed the bus and found I had to walk, alone
What was that?
Only me
Hear the echo of my feet
Footsteps
Are they mine?
Hear the echo of the street
Wished I lived near at hand although I live alone, alone
At least I'll find company, so why should I moan, alone
Movement
By my feet
Paper wind across the street
Curtains closed
Sleepy heads
Wrapped together in their beds
I used to walk with someone else
I didn't seem to notice sights and sounds of the lonely street
I used to talk with someone else
Now the only answers are the calls of the night
Look at that alley cat, it's winding home to rest, alone
Half-past four and daylight shows itself once more
Walking all alone
Walking all alone
Happened I missed the bus and found I had to walk, alone
What was that?
Only me
Hear the echo of my feet
Footsteps
Are they mine?
Hear the echo of the street
Wished I lived near at hand although I live alone, alone
At least I'll find company, so why should I moan, alone
Movement
By my feet
Paper wind across the street
Curtains closed
Sleepy heads
Wrapped together in their beds
I used to walk with someone else
I didn't seem to notice sights and sounds of the lonely street
I used to talk with someone else
Now the only answers are the calls of the night
Look at that alley cat, it's winding home to rest, alone
Half-past four and daylight shows itself once more
Walking all alone
Walking all alone
