lyrics

Seven-thirty, kettle hissed in the sink

One plate on the table, black tea to drink

I left the coat on the hook by the door

No keys in my palm, no boots on the floor

Rain taps the balcony, steady and thin

I count the tile cracks, then count them again

The room holds its breath in a windowless line

I chose this small silence, and it suits me fine

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight

A birthday card face-down beside the salt tin

Two candles untouched in the drawer where they’ve been

Cold fork in the sink, and the radio low

No calls in the glass, no one to know

I cut one slice clean from the cake on the plate

The clock on the stove keeps exacting its weight

No need for a witness, no need for a sign

I chose this small silence, and it suits me fine

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight

At midnight, the hall stays dry and bare

The red digits glow on the microwave there

I lift my glass once to the cracked white tile

And keep my own company awhile

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight

I am alone tonight
