Lyrics I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Cassandra Wilson

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The 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 a cloud
To hide its face and cry,
Did you ever hear a robin weep
When leaves began to die
That mean 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.
