lyrics

You can burn your bridges
You can make your peace
You can wait out the storm
You can void your lease

Be there for me
I'll be here for you
But don't create damage
That you can't undo

I'm a human being
Behind this stone
I can't afford
for solitude
I wasn't meant
to be alone
--------
I wake up in the morning
Once or twice a day
The night before lingers
And gets in the way

I should've been a banker
Maybe a priest
Instead I became a glutton
Sitting down to the feast

Now I'm on this lonely road
Looking for a home
Wasn't cut out for this
I wasn't meant to be alone


The night whispers in my ear
Tells me of my doom
Swept under infinty's rug
by the masters cosmic broom

A particle of dust
a single grain of sand
how very small it is
this thing they called a man



i woke up by the window
with the wind howling my name
my dream had my trippin
on down memory lane

you in your white dress
me in my top hat
you were looking at me like I was the mouse
and you were the hungry cat

the wind told it me it doesn't matter
i picked up the telephone
operator tell me you love me
i was meant to be alone

somewhere in this closet
is an old skeleton
who got put away years ago
when i was on the run

from my past indiscretions, and my future somehow
if I could get out of my head i could live in the here and now

If the man I used to be could only have known
He would've got wise, I wasn't meant to be alone

about

Tom Savage Kingston, Ontario

Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more
