Album: I'm Only a Woman [RCA Victor]
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
Lonely is a rainy day
When home is something far away
And someone special's on your mind
You'd sure love to see.
Lonely is a call to home
When no one's there to catch the phone
And nighttime seems to have no dawn
And you don't have a friend.
Lonely is a feeling
That strips your conscience bare
A state of mind you can't explain
But still you know it's there.
Lonely is a city street
That's lost the sound of shuffling feet
And empty thing that touches you
and makes you wanna cry.
Lonely is a house for two
When no one's living there but you
Happiness turned inside out
That's what lonely is.
Happiness turned inside out
That's what lonely is...
