Lonely House from Street Scene

Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh At night when everything is quiet This old house seems to breathe a sigh Sometimes I hear neighbor snoring Sometimes I hear a baby cry Sometimes I could hear a staircase creaking Sometimes a distant telephone And when the night settles down again The house and I are all alone Lonely house, lonely me Funny with so many neighbors How lonely you can be Lonely street, lonely town Funny you can feel so lonely With all these folks around I guess there must be something That 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 house In this lonely town 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
