Lonely House

At night when everything is quiet
The old house seems to breath a sigh
Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring
Sometimes I hear a baby crying
Sometimes I can hear a staircase creaking
Sometimes a distant telephone

And the quiet settles down again
The house and I are all alone
Lonely house
Lonely me
Funny with so many neighbors
How lonely it can be, oh

Lonely streets
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
