I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Lyrics - John Waite

Hear the lonesome whippoorwill 

He sounds too blue to fly 

The midnight train is whining low 

I'm so lonesome, I could cry 

I've never seen a night so long 

When time goes crawling by 

The moon just went behind a cloud 

To hide its face and cry 

Did you ever see a robin weep 

When leaves begin to die? 

That means he's lost his will to live 

And I'm so lonesome, I could cry 

The silence of a falling star 

Lights up a purple sky 

As I wonder where all of you could be tonight 

I'm so lonesome I could cry
