Lonesome (As The Night Is Long)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Like a stray dog on the highway Like a hobo ??? in the lane Like the long and mournful whistle Of a faraway train I have known that lonesome feeling That comes right before the dawn And ever since the day you left me Memories of you have kept me Lonesome as the night is long [Chorus] Lonesome as the night is long I can hardly sing this song for crying Someday, I'll be over you But if I'm not it ain't that I ain't trying [Verse 2] Like a farmer with a bad crop With no more seeds to sow Tomorrow's comin' to remind me I got a long, hard road to hoe And I miss you most at sundown Just waiting for the dawn And the darkness stretches out ahead Like a road, it never ends Lonesome as the night is long [Chorus] Lonesome as the night is long I can hardly sing this song for crying Someday, I'll be over you But if I'm not it ain't that I ain't trying [Verse 3] Like a stray dog on the highway Like a hobo ??? in the lane Like the long and mournful whistle Of a faraway train I have known that empty feeling That comes right before the dawn And ever since the day you left me Memories of you have kept me Lonesome as the night is long [Outro] And ever since the day you left me Memories of you have kept me Lonesome as the night is long
