There's a world less moon watchin' tonight There's a garden that's left to grow wild There's a sound with no name when a far away train Cries like an unloved child The paint on the wall is peeling away There's a photograph that fades on the shelf The memory stays on of a love that's gone I'm dancing by myself Oh why, why I want to know When she left me no where to go Why, why tell me my friend It's midnight and lonesome again Instrumental The moons still lonely I wonder sometime If that's why the train had to cry So I ask why out loud there's no answer now I'm just talking to the sky Now morning its time to get ready Then the evening take off your shoes Well you worked hard all day The suns gone away And midnight lays claim to the blues Why, why I want to know She went left me no where to go Why, why won't tell me my friend It's midnight and lonesome again Instrumental Why, why I want to know She went left me no where to go Why, why won't you tell me my friend It's midnight and lonesome again It's midnight and lonesome again --- .
