Another night, another flight
And in the morning I'm gone from all of this
I suppose, I'm going home
Though I don't know that I know where home is
I've felt this way for quite sometime
For reasons I'm not sure I can explain
But it's lonely in St. Louis, babe
And I can't wait to board that aeroplane
I went into an antique shop
And all the books reminded me of you
Then I waited for you by the river
But your breeze, I guess it never blew
Well, tonight I'm here in this hotel
Tomorrow I'll be back in Baltimore
It's getting lonely in St. Louis
And I just don't want to be here anymore
Yeah, I'm lonely in St. Louis
And I can't wait to be back at your front door
Oh, and I will be there soon
Tonight I'll sleep beneath this arch
Oh, and I will dream
Yes, I will dream and any dream will do
Then in the morning I will leave this city far behind
And once again I'll find my way to you
'Cause I went away for a whole year
Now I'm counting down the days
So when I see your face, I will say
I will tell you that "I missed you, babe"
And then you'll say it back
And everything we lack will fall away
It will all fall away
I will tell you that "I missed you, babe"
And then you'll say it back
And everything we lack will fall away
Maybe that's just wishful thinking
Or maybe I'm confused
Or maybe I'm just lonely
Here in old St. Louis
