hear that lonesome

whippoorwill

he sounds too blue

to fly

the midnight train

is whining low

i'm so lonesome

i could cry

i've never seen

a night so long

when time goes

crawling by

the moon just went

behind the clouds

to hide its face and cry

bracketed

did you ever see

a robin weep

when leaves

begin to die

like me he's lost

the will to live

i'm so lonesome

i could cry

bracketed

the silence of

a falling star

lights up

a purple sky

and as i wonder

where you are

i'm so lonesome

i could cry
