Taking Notes and Stealing Quotes on this song

Cover-version

* 

 

I, I am the only one

There is nobody else

This whole world, I put it there

I dreamed it up myself

Well it was just an accident

I didn’t plan it out

If it wasn’t for that small mistake

None of you would be about

 

I know I’m quite elusive

And that makes some folk doubt

Some say that I’m abusive

Well, figure that one out …

Maybe you saw me in a mosque

Or singing in the nave

Maybe you heard me in a hymn

Or standing by a grave

 

     I, I am the only one

     I am in your head

     Oh I, I am the only one

     And when all is said and done

     I’m gone

 

Some say I’ve gone and left you

But I was never really there

I was just a brief overnight

On the way to somewhere

 

     I, I am the only one

     I am in your head

     Oh I am the only one

     And when all is said and done

     Oh I, I am the only one

     And I am in your head

     I am the only one

     And when all is said and done

     I’m gone, I’m gone

     I’m gone, I’m gone

     I am gone
