There's a world less moon watchin' tonight
There's a garden that's left to grow wild
There's a sound with no name
When a far away train
Cries like an unloved child
The paint on the wall is peeling away
There's a photograph that fades on the shelf
The memory stays on of a love that's gone
I'm dancing by myself
Oh why, why I want to know
When she left me no where to go
Why, why tell me my friend
It's midnight and lonesome again
Instrumental
The moons still lonely I wonder sometime
If that's why the train had to cry
So I ask why out loud there's no answer now
I'm just talking to the sky
Now morning it's time to get ready
Then the evening take off your shoes
Well you worked hard all day
The suns gone away
And midnight lays claim to the blues
Why, why I want to know
She went left me no where to go
Why, why won't tell me my friend
It's midnight and lonesome again
Instrumental why, why I want to know
She went left me no where to go
Why, why won't you tell me my friend
It's midnight and lonesome again
It's midnight and lonesome again
