Alone

Desert trees are admirable things. In an environment inhospitable to all but the most determined varieties, desert trees are never seen in multiples. They thrive alone.

No I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show, got the books sitting on the shelf.
No I'm not lonely I'm only passing time,
In a week or two I'm telling you, it's gonna turn, turn out fine.
