Together Alone

Bruce Cockburn

So many things to see in this old world 
but all I can see is you 
in a crowded subway train 
or walking in the country rain 
you're there with me too 

of all the songs sung in any day 
your voice is all I hear 
for though each song has its own place 
and, finished, quickly fades away 
I hear you everywhere 

and though I know you won't be pleased 
by all that I do 
surely we can find a way 
to overlook what you don't like 

it's been said many times that we're all by ourselves 
and each man is on his own 
I don't care, that may be true 
I just want to be with you 
together alone.
