Píseň: Alone

Interpret:
Depeche Mode
Album:
Delta Machine
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest


Through your failings and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn’t see much happiness or pain


I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t feel at home
Alone


I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn’t tell if you were blessed or cursed
There’s ding red eye between the black and the white
It’s evidently hard to find the night


I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t play that role
Alone


Now it’s too…
Too late for what should’ve have been said
Long ago


I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your holy ghost and priest


I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t fill that hole
Alone
