MADELEINE PEYROUX
"On My Own"
(David Baerwald / Larry Klein / Brian Macleod / Madeleine Peyroux / Patrick Warren)

Come to, the day is new, hit the floor
Crack the door and what do I see?
Strange kid standing there
Who is that in the mirror
Could it be me?

Someone opens the bedroom door
Somebody wanders the hall
Someone's crossin' my kitchen floor
Wasn't there somebody I loved
Who lived here before?

Ah, What am I missing here?
Ah, Something has disappeared
'Cause I'm all alone like a leaf
That's blown into the great unknown
On my own

Stumbling down the stairs
Run my hands through my hair
What did I say that night?
Old friend weren't you with me
Then promising to hold me tight

Outside where the day is bright
But nothing is real
I wander the city streets trying to remind myself
How it felt to feel

Ah, What am I missing here?
Ah, something has disappeared
'Cause I'm all alone like a pebble thrown
Into the great unknown
On my own

Maybe I'll change my style
Try to be nice for a while
Paint on a sincere smile
Get in touch with my inner child

Ah, Something is missing here
Ah, Something has disappeared
'Cause I'm all alone like a bird
That's flown into the great unknown
On my own
