[Verse]
At night when everything is quiet
The old house seems to breathe a sigh
Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring
Sometimes I hear a baby cry
Sometimes I hear a staircase creaking
Sometimes a distant telephone
Then the quiet settles down again
The house and I are all alone

[Chorus]
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 don't comprehend
Sparrows have companions
Even stray dogs find a friend
The night for me is not romantic
Unhook the stars and take them down
I'm lonely in this lonely house
In this lonely town
