He Lived Alone In Town
Buffy Sainte-marie

He lived alone in town

His friends were many and true

He drank and took the easy love

Of street girls that he knew


And he met a girl one day

Said come home with me tonight

Oh no! she cried I never will.

And she left him there alone


And the days went by, and days

Went by and they did long

For each other every hour

But still she'd not be bound


In the places of young men

I never will be found

But think you not that I don't love

For my heart is ripe and full


How cold you are! he said

I guess you must not care

For me. But tell me,

Where it is you'd go

For I'd take you anywhere


Then come to a forest green

Where I may love you free


Beyond the confines of your walls

And beyond the sweetest words


And beyond the mountains high

Beyond the fields of shame

And beyond the prettiest wedding ring

For I'd never take your name


And wander with me now

Or wander all forlorn

But know I love you, tearful one,

Much more than I can show


He could not understand

He thought she could not care

Oh, take me far away, she'd cried

And he could not hear her prayer


And he wandered off alone

To never know her dream

And she still dwells within the forest

Longing for his love


So, wander with me now

Or wander off alone

But know I love you, tearful one,

Much more than I can show
