about

This incredible comment made as a friend of mine was leaving the Brendan Behan the other night. He said it to no one in particular. Stuck in my head. Resonates all over the place. (Watercolor is a portrait of me that my nephew Sammy drew way back when he was a kid. All kids make art like Picasso.)

lyrics

I’M NOT AS LONLEY AS YA THINK I AM (for Ethan)

I’m not as lonely
as ya think i am
if i look that way
ya see the boy
n not the man
I’m not as lonely
as ya think i am
it’s cold outside
n i don’t feel that bad

anyone can hit a wall
anyone can lose it
heartbreak throws ya
off the horse
but ya get back up
ya can do it

I’m not as lonely
as ya think i am
if i look that way
ya see the boy
n not the man
I’m not as lonely
as ya think i am
it’s cold outside
n i don’t feel that bad

a thinking face
can look real down
but it is just a pose
it’s the eyes that tell you
everything
the ‘mirror of the soul’

I’m not as lonely
as ya think i am
if i look that way
ya see the boy
n not the man
I’m not as lonely
as ya think i am
it’s cold outside
n i don’t feel that bad

thanks for asking
how i’m doing
it means a lot to me
im not sure my answer
will tell ya much
im sorry

I’m not
