I’m All Right :: Madeleine Peyroux

“I asked the boy for a few kind words,
he gave me a novel instead.
But I’m all right,
I’m all right,
I’ve been lonely before.”

but not now
(by me)

maybe
someday
when all the dust settles
when his story changes
and her end begins

maybe
someday
forget will be forgive

and maybe
someday
she will be his
he will sing you’re mine again

and no-one
will be lonely
anymore
