‘You’re On Your Own ’
© music & lyrics by Ian Martyn
(Father) Ever since you were small
I always heard you call
I’d catch you when you fall
I adored you
(Son) You were always there for me
I was safe as could be
I was always so happy
I adored you
(Father) You’re on your own now, You’re on your own now, You’re on your own now
(Son) I’m on my own
(Father) You would call out my name
Whenever you were in pain
It’s always been the same
I protect you
(Son) Whenever I fell down
You’d always be around
You’d turn it all upside down
And protect me
(Father) You’re on your own now, You’re on your own now
(Son) I’m on my own now, I’m on my own
(Father) And now that you’re a man
I still do all I can
I help you make your plans
But I hurt you
(Son) And now I’ve found my way
I no longer need your say
That was yesterday
And I hurt you
(Son) I’m on my own now, well I’m on my own now
Yes, I’m on my own now, I’m on my own
