Allen Tate - Being Alone

Copied!

{Verse}
Go when you hear the call
Fly out, they'll shoot you down
Wrapped up inside loose jaws
The one for an open mouth

Try and forget the cause
I wouldn't worry now
Dress me and trim my claws
Defences down
Now take me out

{Pre-Chorus}
Every way we are
Is every way we'll stay
Everything just turns out that way

{Chorus}
Maybe it's being alone
Maybe it's being alone that gets you
Maybe it's being alone
Maybe it's being alone that gets you down

{Verse}
Heavy I'll fly away
Go crashing to thе ground
Hide in the trees for days
They'll havе to chase me out
Tell me that I'm okay
I wouldn't hear you out
Sing all my shiny praise
But sing it loud
You're fading out

{Pre-Chorus}
Every way we are
Is every way we'll stay
Everything just turns out that way

{Chorus}
Maybe it's being alone
Maybe it's being alone that gets you
Maybe it's being alone
Maybe it's being alone that gets you down
That gets you down
That gets you down
That gets you down

He attended Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, where he became a part of the group of Southern poets known as the “Fugitives”, which included notable writers such as Robert Penn Warren and John Crowe Ransom.

Throughout his career, Tate delved into various topics in his writing, including politics, religion, and the complexities of the human experience.
