Solo - Sandy Denny

Good morning, good afternoon

And what have you got to say?

Well, I’m waiting, but I can’t stay long

It’s such a lovely day

There’s a time to be talking

And there’s a time when it’s no use

Right now, I think the things you say

Are liable to confuse

I’ve just gone solo

Do you play solo?

Ain’t life a solo?

What a wonderful way to live

She’s travelling all over the world

Why, the flame and all the golden

Opportunities unfurled

No time for the gent with the Mulliner Bently

And heaven knows what else

Why, he wouldn’t even stand a chance

With all his oilwells

She just went solo

Do you play solo?

Ain’t life a solo?

I’ve always lived in a maison

On the other side of the moon

I’ve always kept a unicorn

And I never sing out of tune

I could tell you that the grass

Is really greener on the other side of the hill

But I can’t communicate with you

And I guess I never will

We’ve all gone solo

We all play solo

Ain’t life a solo?
