Sator - You Walk Alone lyrics

rate me

I'll try to tell you about a man I know without being too sincere

He's still up north where we both were born he would never set his foot down here

It was 1981 turning 82 and the snow kept coming down

We were part of the chosen few in this long forgotten town

The days were short, the nights so long and change was not too swift

He said nothing happens fast up here it's more like the continental drift

And you'd better know if you're gonna stay there are rules you must obey

'cause they will cast to the dogs what they can't understand

You know it's always been that way

That's when you know you walk alone

So we passed the street where I used to live back in 1975

Now there's a shopping mall with a roundabout on every single side

He said this town will get you if you don't get out so you'd better run like hell

Why don't you write me back when you get somewhere

And you've got something great to tell

That's when you know you walk alone

That's when you know you walk alone

Keep it down, stay in line

Always know your place boy

And don't you ever forget that you can't do that boy, oh no

That's when you know you walk alone

I could tell you about mistakes I've made but maybe I just won't

You don't regret the things you do you regret the things you don't

Well I got out just in time and I never miss that place

I've been hurt along the way but the scars ain't in my face no!

That's when you know you walk alone

That's when you know you walk alone

Keep it down, stay in line

Always know your place boy

And don't you ever forget that you can't do that boy, oh no

That's when you know you walk alone

That's when you know you walk alone

That's when you know you walk alone

That's when you know

You walk alone
