Alone

Your beautiful boat pulls into my harbor
You drop your anchor right next to my dock
You bring the ocean, and make a commotion
Your wake makes the other boats rock
You drop your goods, you leave your freight
Then you sail off and leave me to wait

But if you love me, leave me alone
Don't just love me then leave me alone
Don't knock, don't ring, don't write, don't phone
If you love me then leave me
If you love me then leave me
If you love me then leave me alone

Your beautiful bus pulls into my station  
Blowin' fumes right up in my face
You dump the gentry, and not very gently
Making noise and invading my space
You made your stop, you left some folk
Then you're off in a diesel cloud of smoke

CHORUS  
Would it kill you to stay, would it kill you to care
Where do you have to go
Why don't you take me there
You're asses and elbows and off like a shot
It's the truth, it's a crime, it's a shame
You know you'd never leave,
if you never came

Now you're an angler, throwin' your net
Whatever you want, that's what you get
I'm now your catch, I'm in your sack
But if you love what brought me here,
you'll throw me back

If you love me, leave me alone
Don't just love me then leave me alone
Don't knock, don't ring, don't write, don't phone
If you love me then leave me
If you love me then leave me
If you love me then leave me
If you love me then leave me
If you love me then leave me then
Love me then leave me then
Love me then leave me then
Love me then leave me then
Love me, then leave me      
alone
