Oh, the night has sent you out for loving And the day finds you back out running As dawn becomes the lover's enemy And you hope perhaps you can find Someone that won't leave you behind A victim of life's sad mystery Oh, oh, come on, you can step inside The stairs won't follow you If you hide the walls won't even ask you why Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight Parks and subways people sitting With their faces where you see nothing written Look up, look down or wander nervously With their eyes that find no place for resting And their thoughts that Only can leave you guessing You know there ain't no face here That could ever set you free Oh, oh, come on, you can step inside The stairs won't follow you If you hide the walls won't even ask you why Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight Too tired for thoughts of suicide You watch someone with eyelids wide Some puppy who just takes it out of need With life played out so violently Cruel to the one watching wistfully Never knowing to say help or to say please Oh, oh, come on, you can step inside The stairs won't follow you If you hide the walls won't even ask you why Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight
