Patty Griffin
Not Alone
She sees him laying in the bed alone tonight
The only thing touching him is a crack of light
Pieces of her hair are wrapped
Around and around his fingers
And he reaches for her side
For any sign of her that lingers

[Chorus:]
She says, you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight

One of them bullets went straight for the jugular vein
There were people running, a flash of light
Then everything changed
Nothing really matters
In the end, you know, all the worries sever
Don't be afraid for me, my friend
One day we all fall down forever

[Chorus:]
And you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
Her wedding date was June
Just like any other bride
She loved him like no one before
It was good to be alive
Sometimes that can slip away as fast
As any fingers through your hands
So you let time forgive the past
And go and make some other plans

[Chorus:]
And you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight

You are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight
