I came here to say that this song has a laid-back, bluesy arrangement, but the lyrics are freakin' heartbreaking!
When Roy sings, "no consolation gonna come", he means it!
Roy's vocals are great, as usual.
I've loved this album for years, and always thought this song meant "It feels like you're alone, but you're not". Then I read the lyrics again.
