I'm so lonesome I could cry.
Hear that lonesome whippoorwillHe sounds too blue to flyThe midnight train is whining lowI'm so lonesome I could cry.
I've never seen a night so longWhen time goes crawling byThe moon just went behind the cloudsTo hide its face and cry
Well maybe the night is coldBut together they fadelike the shadows that run up to the hillsTrying to fix her wings
There's a saint and a sinnerAnd forever the missing dayWhere the winners and losers feel the sameWho knows what tomorrow brings
Did you ever see a robin weepWhen leaves begin to die,that means he's lost the will to live?I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling starLights up a purple skyAnd as I wonder "where you are?"I'm so lonesome I could cry
Well maybe the night is coldBut together they fadelike the shadows that run up to the hillsTrying to fix her wings
There's a saint and a sinnerAnd forever the missing dayWhere the winners and loosersfeel the sameWho knows what tomorrow brings
Hear that lonesome whippoorwillHe sounds too blue to flyThe midnight train is whining lowI'm so lonesome I could cryI'm so lonesome I could cryI'm so lonesome I could cry
