Lonely House

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
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 find a friend
The night, for me, it's romantic
Unhook the stars and take them down
I'm lonely in this lonely house
In this lonely town
