Oh,
the night that sent you out for loving
And the day that finds you
back out running
As dawn becomes the
lover's enemy
And you hope,
perhaps, that you can find
Something won't leave you behind
You're never a victim
of life's sad mystery
Oh, come on now,
you can step inside
The stairs won't follow you if you hide
The walls won't even ask you why
Oh, Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight?
Parks and subways,
people sitting with their faces
Where you see nothing written
Looking up and looking down or
wandering
And with their eyes that find no place for rest
And their thoughts that always
can leave you guessing
You know there ain't a face here
that could ever set you free
Oh, come on now, you can't step inside
The stairs won't follow you if you hide
The walls won't even ask you why
Oh, Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight?
Too tired for thoughts of suicide,
you watch the one with eyelids wide,
some puppy, a little puppy who just
takes it out of me.
And with life played so violently,
so cruel to the one watching twistfully,
never knowing to say help or
to say please.
Oh, come on now,
you can step inside
The stairs won't follow you if you hide
The walls won't even ask you why
Oh, Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight?
Oh, Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight?
Thank you.
