Lonely House Lyrics & Chords By Caroline Henderson

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.
