Classic Poem

VERSE 1

I don't know what day it is,
Or if it's dark or fair.
Somehow that's just the way it is,
And I don't really care.
I go to this or that place,
I seem alive and well.
My head is just a hat place,
My breast an empty shell!
And I've a faded dream to sell.

REFRAIN

All alone, all at sea!
Why does nobody care for me?
When there's no love to hold my love,
Why is my heart so frail,
Like a ship without a sail?
Out on the ocean
Sailors can use a chart.
I'm on the ocean
Guided by just a lonely heart.
Still alone, still at sea!
Still there's no one to care for me.
When there's no hand to hold my hand
Life is a loveless tale
For a ship without a sail.

VERSE 2

When love leaves you all alone,
You're living in the past.
Then you feel so small alone,
And oh, the world seems vast.
You tell your grief to no girls;
You never make it known.
Your smile is like a showgirl's,
Your laugh a hollow tone.
And then your little heart's a stone.
