4.Lonely House
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 hear a staircase creaking
Sometimes a distant telephone
and when the quiet settles down again
This old house and I are all alone
Lonely house, lonely me
Funny with so many neighbors
How lonely you 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
