Lonely Town

Gabey's comin', Gabey's comin' to town

So what? Who cares?

Back on the ship it seemed such a snap

You'd tap a girl on the shoulder

She'd turn around

And she'd say "I love you"

But once on shore, it's not such a snap

You get the cold shoulder

The old runaround

You're left with no one but you

Gabey's comin', Gabey's comin' to town

A town's a lonely town

When you pass through

And there is no one waiting there for you

Then it's a lonely town

You wander up and down

The crowds rush by

A million faces pass before your eye

Still, it's a lonely town

Unless there's love

A love that's shining like a harbor light

You're lost in the night

Unless there's love

The world's an empty place

And every town's

A lonely town

Unless there's love

A love that's shining like a harbor light

You're lost in the night

Unless there's love

The world's an empty place

And every town's

A lonely town
