Lonely House

At night when everything is quiet

This old house seems to breathe a sigh

Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring

Sometimes I can hear a baby crySometimes I can hear a staircase creaking

Sometimes a distant telephone

Oh, and when the night settles down again

This old house and I are all aloneLonely house, lonely me

Funny with so many neighbors

How lonesome you can beLonely town, lonely street

Funny, you can be so lonely

With all these folks aroundI guess there must be something

I don't comprehend

Sparrows have companions

Even stray dogs have a friendThe night for me is not romantic

Unhook the stars and take them down

I'm lonely in this lonely town, in this lonely houseThe night, the night for me is not romantic

Unhook the stars and take them down

I'm lonely in this lonely town, in this lonely house

At night when everything is quiet
