Stephan Eicher I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry song lyrics

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds to blue to fly

That 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 the clouds to hide his face and cry

Did you ever see a willow weep

When the 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 up a purple sky

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry
