Born To Die Alone
Kris Kristofferson
Born To Die Alone I was born a restless man I do my livin’ where I can And any road or highway is my home Here today and gone tomorrow keeping just ahead of sorrow Knowing I was born to die alone Left my home when I was ten to try to spread my wings and then Learn about some things I didn’t know Labor cruises and gangly dancers taught me questions without answers I (???) on I go Hear the sea in my destiny is calling me calling me away To travel on The day I die I know that I will be alone I go with the memory of the many flavored wine of love I’ve had the chance to taste but never own Though I know there’s no denying love’s a pleasant way of dyin’ I believe I’m born to die alone Nights I drifted on the rivergazing at the stars so far above In the dark that is their home Life is like a lonely river driftin’ on into never And like every star I’m alone Hear the sea in my destiny is calling me calling me away To travel on The day I die I know that I will be alone
