A dozen records in my arms

Whisper "Tim, don't be afraid

Without regret, just pay."

And I paid

When you were overseas

I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone

When you were working late

I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone

Too weak to tell you face to face

All night I prayed for you to ask

Misguided hopes fell fast

And were...

When you were overseas

I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone

When you were working late

I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone

When you found out I heard your crying late

Just listening to your tape

But then at last you had to deal with me

And when the morning broke

The tears were on my sleeves

A dozen records in my arms

Whisper "Tim, don't be afraid

Without regret, just stay."

And I stayed, and I stayed...
