Lonely house (Remastered)

Lonely House - Abbey Lincoln (阿比·林肯)

At night when everything is quiet

This old house seems to breathe a sigh

Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring

Sometimes I can hear a baby cry

Sometimes I can hear a staircase creaking

Sometimes a distant telephone

Oh and when the night settles down again

This old house and I are all alone

Lonely house lonely me

Funny with so many neighbors

How lonesome you can be

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 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
