All Alone (Chris Hillman/Rick Roberts) All alone she waits at the window While the sun sets in the sea Is that the sound of his foot steps that echoes in the hall And then they fade away no it wasn't him after all He was gone in the early morning And he said he wouldn't be long But that was spring and now that the leaves have all turned brown She only shares her bed with the lonliness she has found Still she waits alone at the window For the one who wandered away Each day the room grows colder her tears grow harder to hold And still she saves her love for the day she knows he'll come home Copyright 1971 Irving Music Inc./Goose Feather Music(BMI) From the " The Flying Burrito Bros" LP A&M Records Rick Roberts tells: When Chris Hillman and I wrote this, we both contributed to the lyrics and composed the music together. So imagine my surprise ten or fifteen years later when Chris told me what we had written the song about. It was all about Roger and Ianthe McGuinn, neither of whom I had ever even met at that time. But Chris assured me we had nailed the story.
