Roy Orbison Lyrics

"Only Alive" lyrics


When you happened by my open eyes could see,
My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached,
I was full of life till you walked on by
Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.

For a moment my heart began to beat,
My puppet legs responded to your strings,
And my shuffling feet started stepping high


Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.

For all the things worth living for
Left me for someone new
And all of those things I lost
I was left condemned to a lonely life
Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely
And only alive.
