Eric Andersen Miss Lonely Are You Blue
Oh, the night has sent you out for loving
And the day finds you back out running
As dawn becomes the lover's enemy
And you hope perhaps you can find
Someone that won't leave you behind
A victim of life's sad mystery
Oh, oh, come on, you can step inside
The stairs won't follow you
If you hide the walls won't even ask you why
Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight
Parks and subways people sitting
With their faces where you see nothing written
Look up, look down or wander nervously
With their eyes that find no place for resting
And their thoughts that
Only can leave you guessing
You know there ain't no face here
That could ever set you free
Oh, oh, come on, you can step inside
The stairs won't follow you
If you hide the walls won't even ask you why
Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight
Too tired for thoughts of suicide
You watch someone with eyelids wide
Some puppy who just takes it out of need
With life played out so violently
Cruel to the one watching wistfully
Never knowing to say help or to say please
Oh, oh, come on, you can step inside
The stairs won't follow you
If you hide the walls won't even ask you why
Miss Lonely, are you blue tonight
