Hello alone, it´s you and me again
How can we pretend we´ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We´ve been making beds for too long now

I never told you that I want you
I thought I had you out of my hair
But every time she leaves me
Refusing to believe me
You´re always there
And even though I don´t invite you
And your presence is a pain
You always let me be just what I am until I´m glad to bring back that refrain again

Hello alone, it´s you and me again
How can we pretend we´ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We´ve been shaking hands for too long now

I even tried to re-convince you
But it was just no use at all
Cos every time I climbed inside your mind
I saw the mirror mirror on the wall
And it´s no use to pose the question
When the answer´s never ´she´
And then I have to face up to the facts
With saxophones and old trombones
Carrying me home to say…

Hello alone, it´s you and me again
How can we pretend we´ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We´ve been making beds for too long…

Perhaps I´ll take a holiday
And get as far away as I can
But then I´d just be far away
And just as much a lonely man
With his head in his hands
and chanting…

Hello alone, it´s you and me again
How can we pretend we´ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We´ve been making beds for too long now
We´ve been making friends for so long now
We´ve been shaking hands for so long, so long now
