Here are some lyrics from Alone.
woe is me © lisa ann stone - July 31, 2004
dad was a courageous man, he fought on foreign shores
a german gun had brought him down and held him prisoner of war
the sole survivor of that craft, he wanted just to die
he tried his best and stuck it through, to make it out alive
you say, woe is me lord won’t you help me please
get up and help yourself you alone hold the key
when I was eight, momma died it brought us all some tears
we all curled up in our little shells and tried to quell the fears
dad tried hard to bring us up and keep us all together
though sick and dying, and sick of trying, he got us through that weather
you say, woe is me lord won’t you help me please
get up and help yourself you alone hold the key
we moved around as army brats we stayed in lots of places
shallow friends that always ends you see so many faces
another year another school it always seems the same
make new friends then move again who is there to blame
you say, woe is me lord won’t you help me please
get up and help yourself you alone hold the key
you think its time, you settle down, you're finally a wife
20 years of hate and pain, that ain't no kind of life
you stick it out, and do your time, you try to stay as friends
you stick it out, you do your time, is it how the story ends?
you say, woe is me lord won’t you help me please
get up and help yourself you alone hold the key
I know it hurts, but life goes on, there’s nothing you can do
get up, and try again, what is there to lose
you say, woe is me
dad was a courageous man, he fought on foreign shores
a german gun had brought him down and held him prisoner of war
the sole survivor of that craft, he wanted just to die
he tried his best and stuck it through, to make it out alive

get up and help yourself you alone hold the key
when I was eight, momma died it brought us all some tears

it's hard © lisa ann stone - march 22, 2006
it's hard when you don't have the time
to do the things that you really ought to do
it's hard when your life looks so bright
yet you stay in bed all day afraid to even try
it's hard but you know it's the only game in town
it's hard so you go but there's no better place around
so you run far away and hide from all your fears
and realize that there's no place any better than here
so you live your life of mediocrity and cry yourself to sleep
it's hard when your life and friends are gone
and you can’t get in the gates so you have to carry on
it's hard to live a life as you know you should
and deny what you wish you could
it's hard life is so hard
it's hard when you don't have the time
to do the things that you really ought to do
it's hard when your life looks so bright
yet you stay in bed all day afraid to even try
it's hard but you know it's the only game in town
it's hard so you go but there's no better place around
so you run far away and hide from all your fears
and realize that there's no place any better than here
so you live your life of mediocrity and cry yourself to sleep
it's hard when your life and friends are gone
and you can’t get in the gates so you have to carry on
it's hard to live a life as you know you should
and deny what you wish you could
it's hard life is so hard
coming home © lisa ann stone -august 8, 2004
horizon getting clear closer still yet
memories and old friends the closer that I get
I've been gone for too long wherever did I roam
my world is coming back to me coming home
wing tip lights, the flashing strobe, a beacon for all to see
plays peek-a-boo through the mist, winking back at me
I've been gone for too long wherever did I roam
my world is coming back to me coming home
lights ahead in the darkness coastline getting clear
so close I can feel it I know my home is near
these travels bring me a world that's always new
the same old stars, same old moon but a different point of view
that newness wears away all you have is old
that bright new world you dreamed of suddenly turns cold
always moving, on the run each town a different name
no matter where the journey goes best parts always the same
I've been gone for too long wherever did I roam
my world is coming back to me coming home
horizon getting clear closer still yet
memories and old friends the closer that I get
I've been gone for too long wherever did I roam
my world is coming back to me coming home
wing tip lights, the flashing strobe, a beacon for all to see
plays peek-a-boo through the mist, winking back at me
I've been gone for too long wherever did I roam
my world is coming back to me coming home
lights ahead in the darkness coastline getting clear
so close I can feel it I know my home is near
these travels bring me a world that's always new
the same old stars, same old moon but a different point of view
that newness wears away all you have is old
that bright new world you dreamed of suddenly turns cold
always moving, on the run each town a different name
no matter where the journey goes best parts always the same
I've been gone for too long wherever did I roam
my world is coming back to me coming home
alone © lisa ann stone - march 16, 2006
another night in quiet solitude alone
huddled under the covers warmth is hard to find
no friends to call or talk to and strangers so unkind
friends and family scorned and disowned you so you leave them all behind
you wonder how you'll live your life alone
your lover's gone, now you your left alone
you tried so hard for all those years but now those times are gone
all those plans, all those dreams now scattered on the lawn
after all the pain you've seen you hope you can't be wrong
still you wonder if you'll make it through alone
another night in quiet solitude alone
too cold to move, too tired to try a prisoner in your own home
all you do now is wonder if you're doomed a
to live your life alone
key to my heart © lisa ann stone - feb 25, 2006
I'll never understand men tell me the truth, do you?
the way they run all around just to get a look from you
I'm flattered that you noticed but it don't matter much to me
all that commotion don't mean a thing if you ain't got the key
the key to my heart ain't sittin' there for everyone to see
find the magic and you just might set my spirit free
if you don't, you'll never know how sweet my love can be
until then, it's locked away for no one to see
no one but me
lots of friends you've always had your share of failed romance
you flit around like a butterfly you ain't afraid to dance
you play to win, you're not afraid to stay and take a stance
you love to live and live to love but you never get the chance
the key to my heart ain't sittin' there for everyone to see
find the magic and you just might set my spirit free
if you don't, you'll never know how sweet my love can be
until then, it's locked away for no one to see
no one but me
years glide by and you're still alone you can blame it on the weather
still, that fear eats at you will you be alone forever?
the key to my heart ain't sittin' there for everyone to see
find the magic and you just might set my spirit free
if you don't, you'll never know how sweet my love can be
until then, it's locked away for no one to see
no one but me
I'll never understand men tell me the truth, do you?
the way they run all around just to get a look from you
I'm flattered that you noticed but it don't matter much to me
all that commotion don't mean a thing if you ain't got the key
the key to my heart ain't sittin' there for everyone to see
find the magic and you just might set my spirit free
if you don't, you'll never know how sweet my love can be
until then, it's locked away for no one to see
no one but me
lots of friends you've always had your share of failed romance
you flit around like a butterfly you ain't afraid to dance
you play to win, you're not afraid to stay and take a stance
you love to live and live to love but you never get the chance
the key to my heart ain't sittin' there for everyone to see
find the magic and you just might set my spirit free
if you don't, you'll never know how sweet my love can be
until then, it's locked away for no one to see
no one but me
years glide by and you're still alone you can blame it on the weather
still, that fear eats at you will you be alone forever?
the key to my heart ain't sittin' there for everyone to see
find the magic and you just might set my spirit free
if you don't, you'll never know how sweet my love can be
until then, it's locked away for no one to see
no one but me
now that I’m alone © lisa ann stone - march 31, 2006
welcome to my humble abode its not much, but it's home
just a little one room shack built of brick and stone
it's kind of quaint and cozy at least I call it home
but it's awful big and empty on those cold dark nights alone
cold dark nights alone
on these cold clear winter nights I see all the stars and moon
it warms my heart as I remember those moonlit nights in June
hand in hand, walks on the beach and hiding in the dunes
the cold wind blows, to end the comfort dreams always end too soon
dreams that end too soon
the bitter wind cuts so deep and chills me to the bone
seems like pain is all I feel now that I'm alone
now that I'm alone
welcome to my humble abode its not much, but it's home
just a little one room shack built of brick and stone
it's kind of quaint and cozy at least I call it home
but it's awful big and empty on those cold dark nights alone
cold dark nights alone
on these cold clear winter nights I see all the stars and moon
it warms my heart as I remember those moonlit nights in June
hand in hand, walks on the beach and hiding in the dunes
the cold wind blows, to end the comfort dreams always end too soon
dreams that end too soon
the bitter wind cuts so deep and chills me to the bone
seems like pain is all I feel now that I'm alone
now that I'm alone
