Lonely House

At night when everything is quiet The old house seems to breathe a sigh Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring Sometimes I can hear a baby cry Sometimes 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 alone Lonely house, lonely me Funny with so many neighbors How lonely it can be Oh lonely street, lonely town Funny, you can be so lonely With all these folks around I guess there must be something I don't comprehend Sparrows have companions Even stray dogs have a friend The night for me is not romantic Unhook the stars and take them down I'm lonely in this lonely house, in this lonely town
