Lonesome Songtext
von Glenn Yarbrough

Did you ever say, I′m lonesome
And stop and wonder really what lonesome is?

Lonesome is a little boy standin' in a crowd
A telephone ringing in an empty house
Lonesome is an autumn leaf that first falls from its tree
Lonesome is me


Lonesome is a footstep without a place to go
The summer′s last robin in winter's first snow
Lonesome is a little dog lost out in the street
Lonesome is me (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Lonesome is an empty bottle, a half filled glass of wine
The sound the clock makes when all you have is time

Lonesome is a heart that breaks (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
When love has turned to hate (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
The dyin' sun (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) at the close of day
Lonesome is a jail of tears that won′t set me free
Lonesome is me (ooh, ooh)

Lonesome is me (ooh, ooh)
Lonesome is me
