Bitter Sweet

Alone Without You

by King

on Bitter Sweet (1985), Love And Pride - The Best Of King (2000)

Alone without you
A hot room
September's gloom
Lick my lashes
Kiss my cheeks
Remembered lines in between the sheets

Alone without you
Pass the phone
Someone pass the phone
Shall we try to make July

You're like the sea to hold
Impossible and cold
But your taste lingers on
On my hands and on my tongue

Alone without you
Pass the phone
Someone pass the phone
Shall we try to make July
Shall we try to make July

When you called me at home
You said you lived on your own
Just dreaming of me
When I called you at home
Someone else picked up the phone
It wasn't you

Was it the song you were looking for? Yes 🥳

Human memory is a funny thing. For some reason this song just POPPED INTO MY HEAD a few days ago (late May 2021) for the first time since probably 1985 (I was born in 1961) and I just HAD to look it up. I wrecked my brains searching through all the music lyrics databases until I finally found it. It took me hours but it sure WAS WORTH IT. I think this is one of those underappreciated 1980's gems. It has that indescribable yet quintessential 80's sound. GREAT SONG (it reminded me yet again, as if I needed reminding, why being a twenty-something in the 80's was probably the closest thing to being in heaven with having died first).
