Boz Scaggs - Alone Alone Lyrics






I found a friend who says he hasn't any fears
He has a brother who's been sailing here for years
But if I have this friend for long
He'll hear this sad confusing song
And look away from all he thinks he knows
And wonder where it goes
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...

Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...

And I found a friend who says he's shedding no more tears
Got him a woman who will love him through the years
If I've ever known his dreams
Things are all the way they seem
He'll walk away from all his promises
And laugh about betrayal
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...

Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...

And I found a friend who has not been here very long
He goes round and round and spins you out a song
He says his memory's to blame
When nothing ever sounds the same
Here "I'm going inside the words" he said
And crawl back out the hole

Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...

And I found a friend who says he cannot sleep at night
He lies awake and balls his fists to beat the fright
He says it's hard to get ahead
And things are better done than said
It's a lonesome situation here
Hard and long and gone

Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...
Turn his head and look away
Alone alone...

And I found some friends who turn their heads and look away
"Man what's wrong with you"
With all their reasons sounding good for things they say
If I have these friends for long
I'd get so lost inside this song
I'd get away from what I'm leaning on
Go on and on and on...

Turn my head and look away
Alone...
Turn my head and look away
Alone alone...
Turn my head and look away
Alone alone

  1. c.... ....

    1979 I was 14, talking to the love of my life on the phone in the kitchen. Heart bursting in my chest. How to pretend.

  7. T.... ....

    In 1976 my father bought a brand new Chevy Camaro Rally Sport for $3200. Leasing did not exist. About the same time my mother sold our house (post-divorce) for $40,000, the going rate for a single family ranch at the time. Life in the 70's.

  8. J.... L....

  9. s.... a....

    Ganda ah

  10. Q.... ....

    These lyrics sound so archetypal until you look at them closely, and realize that they actually make little sense. They are just pretty rhymes with no actual meaning. Still it's a very beautiful song and Boz Scaggs can be proud of writing it.

  11. G.... E....

    am I the only one this song is about dying with the one you love?

  12. S.... D....

    Beautiful video, even though I prefer Rita Coolidge's version.

    S.... R....

    Me too!

    S.... R....

    that actually sounds better anyway... I'd be honored if some Boz Scaggs & 70s/80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of WE'RE ALL ALONE on my YT channel in tribute to one of the greatest ballads in pop music history. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.

  32. P.... M....

    So damned smooth. Boz is THE MAN

  37. b.... �....

    I Remember ,when i was in grade school. if it’s raining ☔️ looked outside to chased my dreams.one of my fave “Were all alone “

  39. A.... M....

    How sad?

  40. M.... V....

    ...in sisa St., Sampaloc Mla. every year as he would tag me along during school break. I miss you my beloved kuyang, then Dr. Charlie A. Amurao. I love you.

  41. M.... V....

    I remember my dearest late brother, kuyang Charlie, with this song. I was in grade school and he was in medical school when this song was a hit. I fondly recall my summer stay

  42. m.... ....

    They just don't make music like this anymore. The 70's and early 80's were the best music.

  43. w.... 4....

    Rest In Peace Uncle Nonong Hernais.. ❤

  47. A.... D....

    This is the era wherein each piece of lyric would pierce the innermost part of your consciousness and heart.... I’m still wondering what happened, decades after these golden years....

    A.... D....

    I'd be honored if some Boz Scaggs & 70s/80s fans would give a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of WE'RE ALL ALONE on my YT channel in tribute to one of the greatest ballads in pop music history. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.

    A.... D....

    That is so very true!
    Brilliant observation.

    A.... D....

    the game changers of the 90's as identified by VH1 fucked up the music forever. We were having a blast in the 80's until these fake talents came along with fake dubbing techniques like comping and autotune.

  48. J.... G....

    Brings back memories both positive and negative. Love doesn't last forever with some people, sadly. Oh well.

    J.... G....

  61. g.... ....

    The original. Beats the heck out Rita Coolide's cover.

  62. R.... L....

    Chora de Emoção

  63. J.... V....

    💯 fan of old songs. ❤️

  64. W.... C....

    Drummers killinnit boom !

  65. J.... D....

    I will remember about my past,its because of this song.

  66. J.... L....

    This song evokes a softer, kinder  period for many of us. Wish things were like they were then, when music made you feel euphoria instead of anger, depression  and angst.

  67. 1.... ....

    I never understand why Rita Coolidge got all the credit for this great song. Doh!

    1.... ....

    Boz never released it as a single, so only people who bought the album Silk Degrees knew it was really his. Also, Rita Coolidge was Kris Kristofferson's wife or girlfriend, and he was already well established before Silk Degrees put Boz on the map apart from Toto.

  68. L.... S....

    Love this song!

  69. M.... M....

    I don’t know why but i sing this song everyday. Hands down one of the greatest songs to be ever created, no exaggeration.

  70. D.... ....

    "Close your eyes and dream" I think is the lyric...I could be wrong...who cares...Boz is the man

    D.... ....

    Dion1957 ain’t wrong it’s his own version. Rita Collidge may be the one you were listening into previously.

    D.... ....

    Boz music timeless you can't find any better than right here..

  71. K.... T....

    Wow this sounds exactly like greatest love of all

  72. L.... L....

    Nice song gtm

  73. m.... o....

    Got this song as a demo by Boz Scaggs back around 1975; I thought it was great, but the band opted not to record it; of course, then it became a hit. Can't even remember the name of the second single we released. Deja Vu, that is. I did an album with them and did some gigs too. I still have the reel-to-reel demo.

  74. g.... g....

    wow, that's intense!

  75. B.... U....

    As a kid i thought it was "close your window properly" but got it all wrong lol

  76. L.... B....

    I just took a deep breath and smiled. Thank God for the memories and the songs that bring us there.

  77. A.... H....

    never been any music like this now..

    My father use to sing this song before he died last July 31 😔
