Lyrics Midnight and Lonesome - Tab Benoit , Louisiana's LeRoux

There's a worldless moon watchin' tonight
There's a garden that's left to grow wild
There's a sound with no name when a far away train
Cries like an unloved child

The paint on the wall is peelin' away
There's a photograph that fades on the shelf
The memory stays on of a love that's gone
I'm dancing by myself

Oh, why, why I want to know
When she left me nowhere to go
Why, why tell me my friend
It's midnight and lonesome again?

The moon's still lonely, I wonder sometimes
If that's why the train had to cry
So I ask why out loud, there's no answer now
I'm just talking to the sky

Now mornin' it's time to get ready
Then the evenin' take off your shoes
Well, you worked hard all day
The sun's gone away
And midnight lays claim to the blues

Why, why I want to know
She went an' left me nowhere to go
Why, why won't you tell me my friend
It's midnight and lonesome again?

Why, why I want to know
She went and left me nowhere to go
Why, why won't you tell me my friend
It's midnight and lonesome again?
It's midnight and lonesome again?
