Caroline Henderson - Lonely House lyrics

rate me

At night when everything is quiet

This old house seems to breathe aside

Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring

Sometimes I hear a baby cry

Sometimes I hear a staircase creeking

Sometimes a distant telephone

And 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 can’t comprehend

Sparrows, high companions

Even stray dogs find a friend

At night for me it’s not romantic

I hope this doesn’t bring them down

I’m lonely, in this lonely house

In this lonely town

At night when everything is quiet

This old house seems to breathe aside

Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring

Sometimes I hear a baby cry

Sometimes I hear a staircase creeking

Sometimes a distant telephone

And then the quiet settles down again

The house and I are all alone.
