“Not Lonely”
Words and music by Eliza Gilkyson
© 2003 GilkySongs/BMI/Bluewatermusic

I am a one-man woman
I live one day at a time
Keep one eye open
I got a one-track mind

I'm a one trick pony
Living in a one horse town
People say I should be lonely
But that ain't what's goin' down
I'm alone but I'm not lonely

I live in a one-room palace
On top of a hill
On the edge of a wilderness
All my dreams could never fill

And I hang my head over
Hear the rustling of the leaves
Down in the hollow below me
A wild woman breathes
I'm alone but I'm not lonely

I am a one-man woman
Flying solo for a time
Oh when I sing here for my supper
I know everything's gonna be just fine

Got two hands to guide me
Through one very long dance
Got a true heart inside me
Gonna give me one more chance
To be alone, not lonely
I'm alone, not lonely

Close.  Hard to believe Eliza has a few years on Lucinda. I know Eliza has recorded some Lucinda works, but I'm trying to recall if the reverse is also true.....anyone out there in RP land know?

I'm not an expert on any of these ladies' works—or Lucinda's—but I love Eliza's gently smoky voice.

Shawn Colvin..

She is the real deal, seen her a couple of times and she simply pulls it off.
I stayed in that hotel, the only one in Chernobyl without the lead covers over the swimming pool, that was a swell weekend ; )
Once again, count on RP to illuminate a gem!
found the lyrics.....
for those of you searching..

Not Lonely

I am a one-man woman
I live one day at a time
keep one eye open
I got a one-track mind

I'm a one trick pony
living in a one horse town
people say I should be lonely
but that ain't what's goin down
I'm alone but I'm not lonely

I live in a one-room palace
on top of a hill
on the edge of a wilderness
all my dreams could never fill

and I hang my head over
hear the rustling of the leaves
down in the hollow below me
a wild woman breathes
I'm alone but I'm not lonely

I am a one-man woman
flying solo for the time
but when I sing here for my supper
I know everything's gonna be just fine

got two hands to guide me
through one very long dance
got a true heart inside me
gonna give me one more chance
to be alone, not lonely
