ROY ORBISON - Only Alive lyrics

rate me

When you happened by, my open eyes could see

My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached

I was full of life, till you walked on by

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely

And only alive

For a moment my heart began to beat

My puppet legs responded to your strings

And my shuffling feet started stepping high

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely

And only alive

For all the things worth living for

Left me for someone new

And all of those things I lost

I was left condemned to a lonely life

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely

And only alive
