Glenn Yarbrough - Lonesome

"Did you ever say "I'm lonesome"
And stop and wonder really what lonesome is?"
Lonesome, is a little boy standin' in a crowd.
A telephone ringing in an empty house
Lonesome is an autumn leaf that first falls from its tree.
Lonesome is me
Lonesome is a footstep without a place to go,
The summer's last robin in winter's first snow,
Lonesome is a little dog lost out in the street - lonesome is me.
Lonesome is an empty bottle, a half filled glass of wine.
The sound the clock makes when all you have is time.
Lonesome is a heart that breaks when love has turned to hate.
The dyin' sun at the close of day.
Lonesome is a jail of tears that won't set me free.
Lonesome is me,
Lonesome is me,
Lonesome is me...
