On the Town: Lonely Town Songtext
von Leonard Bernstein

Gabey′s comin', Gabey′s comin' to town
So what? Who cares?
Back on the ship, it seemed such a snap
You'd tap a girl on the shoulder
She′d turn around and she′d say, "I love you"
But once on shore, it's not such a snap
You get the cold shoulder
The old runaround
You′re left with no one but you
Gabey's comin′, Gabey's comin′ to town


A town's a lonely town
When you pass through
And there is no one waiting there for you
Then it's a lonely town
You wander up and down
The crowds rush by
A million faces pass before your eye
Still it′s a lonely town
Unless there′s love
A love that's shining like a harbor light
You′re lost in the night
Unless there's love, the world′s an empty place
And every town's a lonely town

Unless there′s love
A love that's shining like a harbor light
You're lost in the night
Unless there′s love, the world′s an empty place
And every town's a lonely town
