Maxwell Anderson - Lonely House lyrics

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 Then the night settles down again The house and I are all alone Lonely house, lonely me Funny with so many neighbors How lonely it can be 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
