Loneliness House |
I went into the loneliness house, |
Went on in and I locked the door, |
Seen a lot of trouble when I was out and about, |
I might not come out no more. |
Pulled down the shades in the loneliness house, |
I don’t like it when the light’s too bright, |
People in the neighborhood, I seen 'em shout, |
«You're right down the street from Love and Delight.» |
Sometimes my baby gets so sad, |
She stopped by the other day, |
I wouldn’t answer and she got mad, |
She said, «When you gonna come back out and play?» |
Like an old grizzly down in his den, |
Snorting and growling and turning about, |
Maybe if I smell Spring on the wind, |
I might think about coming back out. |
It gets pretty quiet in the loneliness house, |
There is trouble in the city, everybody screaming, |
Once in a while I look out, |
And it seems like you’re just better off dreaming. |
It gets kind of lonely in the loneliness house, |
But the rain will freeze and the sun will scorch, |
I hate to leave my dreams and doubts, |
But I think I might go sit on the porch |
