Tora Augestad - Lonely House Lyrics

At night when everything is quiet.The old house seems to breathe a sigh.Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring,Sometimes I hear a baby cry.Sometimes I hear a staircase creaking,Sometimes a distant telephone.Then the quiet settles down again,The house and I are all alone.Lonely house, lonely me!Funny, with so many neighbors,How lonely it can be!Oh, lonely street! Lonely town!Funny, you can be so lonelyWith all these folks around.I guess there must be somethingI don't comprehendSparrows 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.
