Alone so Far - Old 97's

I watch, as it stops for a girl

A moment, elaborate and weak

I am easy in her midst

Why elaborate, when there’s no need to?

But I do, all night

My words ring like money off a bar

But she’s here, asleep now

One can only go alone so far

One can only go alone so far

I dream of a deep dark grave

Seven feet below Saint Augustine

And she’s so easy in her breathing

Why fall in love, when there’s no need to?

But we do all night

Sleep like spoons, forget whom we are

But she’s here, and she’s wound down now

One can only go alone so far

One can only go alone so far
