When I work alone, I get things done
I put away the hours and I send away the sun
When I'm tired out I do not sleep
'Cause when I work alone, I do not need it
When I work alone I don't slow down
No one else distracts me; no one's here to mess around
When I'm growing hungry I don't sleep
'Cause when I work alone I do not need it
♪
When I work alone, my boss is pleased
He tells me all the things that I know I could achieve
I can hear him whispering in my ears
Above the droning absence of the things I need to hear
♪
When I work alone, I'm very still
A watercolor painting of a vase that cannot fill
When I sit for so long, I get cold
I could wear my coat, but I don't when I work alone
♪
When I'm finally done, I cannot rest
I close my eyes and lay there, but I cannot slow my breath
'Cause my mind is racing 'round the room
When I work alone I know that the morning will be here soon
