Gentle Giant
Isn’t It Quiet and Cold?
[Verse 1]
Isn't it quiet and cold walking all alone, alone?
Happened I missed the bus and found I had to walk, alone
[Chorus]
What was that? Only me
Hear the echo of my feet
Footsteps, are they mine?
Hear the echo of the street
[Verse 2]
Wished I lived near at hand, although I live alone, alone
At least I'll find company, so why should I moan, alone?
[Chorus]
Movement by my feet
Paper wind across the street
Curtains closed, sleepy heads
Wrapped together in their beds
[Bridge]
I used to walk with someone else
I didn't seem to notice sights and sounds of the lonely street
I used to talk with someone else
Now the only answers are the calls of the night
[Instrumental Break: 2:40–3:01]
[Xylophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
Look at that alley cat, it's winding home to rest, alone
Half-past four and daylight shows itself once more
[Outro]
Walking all alone
Walking all alone
