Hear the lonesome whipperwill He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry I never seen a night so long When times goes crawling by The moon just went behind a cloud To hide it's face and cry Well maybe the night is cold But together they fade Like the shadow that ran up to the hills Trying to fix her wings There's a saint and a sinner And forever the missing day Where the winners and the losers feel the same Who knows what tomorrow brings Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a falling star Lights a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry Well maybe the night is cold But together they fade Like the shadow that ran up to the hills Trying to fix her wings There's a saint and a sinner And forever the missing day Where the winners and the losers feel the same Who knows what tomorrow brings Hear the lonesome whipperwill He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm so lonesome I could cry
