Cowboy Junkies - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry 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 clouds

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
