lulu lived a life like a child
wrapped up in arms that she kept all around her
then one day she passed by a man
smiled as she held out her hand to him

and he said that's very nice
but no thank you i'm doing fine
all alone here doing fine on my own here

and she looked into his eyes for that lonely part
but no he wasn't lonely, just alone,
and as she turned and walked away she wondered
maybe i can change that way

lulu, she packed up her bag
she opened the door and she tipped her hat to him
but she said oh my dear! i'm so scared i can barely sail this ship on my own
i need some sign on the way i need someone to take my hand to point me where i should be going

and as he turned and walked away she was looking at his face
she was waiting for him to stay and turn back to the place they knew
and he looked into her eyes he said goodbye now you're alone
but don't feel lonely you're alone across the sea i'll still be near to you

a hundred days across the sea she was gone
she walked by herself to search for her home
she walked by herself 'til one day a boy caught up to her side
he held out his hand but she shook her head and just smiled
she smiled she smiled and-

and she said that's very nice
but no thank you i'm doing fine
all alone here doing fine on my own here

and he looked into her eyes for that lonely part
but no she wasn't lonely, just alone,
and as he turned and walked away he wondered
maybe i can change that way
