From the album STONEGROUND
WORDS (1972)
Except * additional verse
included on BALLROOM STREETS (1978)
We'll grow
old, we'll take care of each other
I'll be your
sister, your mother, your lover
We'll be friends
during changes of weather
Lets be
together on our own
Let's be
together alone
We're
believers, we've been hurt by believing
Needing
people, we know looking's not seeing
I see needs
that might be answered by forever
Together on
our own
Let's be together
alone
*I keep on
asking is it want or is it need
That keeps me
needing you forever
If we could
make it
So it wasn't
push and lean
We would
never be alone
We'll learn
living, like the words of a good song
We'll learn
timing, balance and rhythm
We'll make it
music
I'm tired of
singing on my own
Let's be
together alone
