Dedicated to those who are lonely and isolated, particularly the elderly.

lyrics

Lying here, watching the stars as the silence holds my soul
Things shout loud in the emptiest space as the memories unfold.

In these hours, in these hours alone
Enduring hours, when there’s no choice but to be alone.

People pass; they make not a sound. How do I tell them I am here?
Do they know how souls run aground when their lives just disappear?

But no one can tear me away from the person that I need to be
No one can scare me away, cos I’m the only one who can ever be me.

But these hours, all these hours alone
The world is hours, when there’s no choice but to be alone.

The TV can be playing, while the radio can shout, there’s so much, so much, so much silence in the noise
People are lost and playing; don’t know they’re about, they’re all busy, busy, busy with their techie toys.

If no one is hearing my song, then it’s true that they may just not care
If no one is hearing my song, then it’s a loss I will just have to bear.

Within these hours, all these hours alone
Only hours, for there’s no choice but to be alone.

Alone…

about

Patrick Jasper Lee Wales, UK

I am something of an activist with my music & literature. As an indigenous Rom Gypsy my cultural and artistic work explores the highs and lows of life/soul. I champion tribal origins, and the underdog in our modern times. I am tired of what this society tends to throw at us, especially innocent folk. I believe the awesome beauty of nature & the arts remains our only hope in this chaotic world. ... more
