Lyrics

LONESOME IS

A lifetime adds up in a hurry
There's things find a home in your mind
Every now and again you're back where you've been
And without any reason or fhyme
You feel lonesome

Yeah, lonesome's a feeling that's hard to explain
It'll wash over you like a cold mountain rain
Sometimes just a morning or a closing screen door
The dust that's collected on a hat someone wore
To hold in your hand an old memory you've found
These are some of the things that bring lonesome around

It's the moonlight that falls on an old empty chair
A photograph on the wall, heartaches we hang there
The creak of a porch swing as evening retreats
The laughter of children playing just down the street
To sit by a window, soft rain falling down
These are some of the things that bring lonesome around

Lonesome's never the same for anyone else
Your have to find what it means to you all by yourself

Well, it can come down on you in the quiet at first light
In the sound through the trees the wind makes at night
Or when an old song you hear kinda troubles you some
In the whistle you give and the dog that don't come
To look in the mirror at a dream that's unwound
These are some of the things that bring sonesome around

Yeah, these are just some of the things
That bring lonesome around
