Lonely House Songtext
von Emily Skinner

At night when everything is quiet
The old house seems to breathe a sigh
Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring
Sometimes I hear a baby cry
Sometimes I hear a staircase creaking
Sometimes a distant telephone
Then 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

A 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 find 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
