You're On Your Own

Off the train at that New York island
She didn't know you then, she didn't love you then
Flame and crown that you came and found
She didn't know you then, she didn't love you then
You were down, hidden underground
She didn't know you then, she didn't love you then
As you begged your wage from that modern chain-gang
She didn't know you then, she didn't love you then

It's a little messed up but I think you can fight it
Off course but I know you can right it
So it goes, you're on your own
It's a little more work and a little less riding
Long way you've been slipping and sliding
So it goes, you're on your own now kid

You held your tongue out in the sun
She didn't know you then, she didn't love you then
In broken shoes, set up to lose
She didn't know you then, she didn't love you then

When knowing who you are starts to feel too hard
Don't go falling back on clover leaves and shooting stars
She didn't know you then, she didn't love you then
Well so it goes now kid, you know you're on your own again
