Cowboy Junkies — I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry lyrics

Lyrics

Hear the lonesome Whippoorwill
His song’s too blue to fly
The midnight train is a-winding low
I’m so lonesome I could cry
I’ve never seen a night so long
When time keeps crawling by The moon is gone behind the trees
To hide his face and cry
Have you ever seen a Robin weep
When leaves have turned to brown?
Like me he’s lost his will to live
I’m so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple haze
And as I wonder, where you are?
I’m so lonesome I could cry
