Solo (Sandy Denny) Lyrics

Good morning, good afternoon
And what have you got to say?
Well, I'm waiting, but I can't stay long
It's such a lovely day
There's a time to be talking
And a time when it's no use
Right now I think the things you say are liable to confuse

I've just gone solo
Do you play solo?
Ain't life a solo?

What a wonderful way to live, she's travelling all over the world
Why, the fame and all the golden opportunities unfurled
No time for the gent with the mulliner bentley and heaven knows what else
Why, he wouldn't even stand a chance with all his oil-wells

She's just gone solo
Do you play solo?
Ain't life a solo?

I've always lived in a mansion on the other side of the moon
I've always kept a unicorn and I sometimes sing in tune
I could tell you that the grass is really greener on the other side of the hill,
But I can't communicate with you and I guess that I never will

We've all gone solo
Ain't life a solo?
We all play solo
And ain't life solo?
