i m so lonesome i could cry

Yo La Tengo

Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
That midnight train rides alone
I m so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the cloud
I m so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
It means he s lost the will to live
I m so lonesome I could cry

The silence of the falling stars
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I m so lonesome I could cry

And as I wonder where you are
I m so lonesome I could cry
