Lyrics
At night when everything is quiet This old house seems to breathe a sigh Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring Sometimes I can hear a baby cry Sometimes I could hear a staircase creaking Sometimes a distant telephone Oh, and when the night settles down again This old house and I are all alone Lonely house, lonely me Funny with so many neighbors How lonesome you can be Lonely town, lonely street 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 have a friend The night for me is not romantic Unhook the stars and take them down I'm lonely in this lonely town In this lonely house The night, the night for me is not romantic Unhook the stars and take them down I'm lonely in this lonely town In this lonely house At night when everything is quiet
