Elizabeth Shepherd - Lonely House lyrics

( Kurt Weill ) At night, when everything is quiet This 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 And then the quiet settles down again The house and I are all alone Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin 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 That night for me is not romantic Unhook the stars and take them down I'm lonely in this lonely house In this lonely town
