Lyrics Flying Burrito Brothers

Flying Burrito Brothers

All Alone

All alone, she waits at the window

While the sun sets in the sea

Is that the sound of his footsteps?

That echo in the hall

And then they fade away

No, it wasn't him after all

He was gone in the early morning

And he said, he wouldn't be long

But that was spring and now

That the leaves have all turned brown

She only shares her bed with

The loneliness she has found

Still she waits alone at the window

For the one who wandered away

Each day the room grows colder

Her tears grow harder to hold

And still she saves her love

For the day she knows he'll come home

Is that the sound of his footsteps?

That echo in the hall

And then they fade away

No, it wasn't him after all
