I'm Only You - Robyn Hitchcock, The Egyptians

Said I’m a willow bending in your mind

I’m a mirror cracked from side to side

I’m a snow-covered mountain in an empty room

I’m a house that burns down every night for you

Said I’m a doorway leading to the dark

I’m a liquid you’re dissolving in

I’m a policeman working in an empty house

I’m a distant steeple on a long-deserted plain

Sometimes when I’m lonely, baby, then I’m only you

Said I’m a pattern on a china bowl

I’m a memory engraved upon your soul

I’m a prison cell without a door

I’m a finger drawing on a frosty window pane

Sometimes when I’m lonely, baby, then I’m only you

Sometimes when I’m lonely, baby, then I’m only you
