Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry lyrics

[Verse 1] Hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly The midnight train is whining low [Chorus] I'm so lonesome I could cry [Verse 2] 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 see a Robin weep When leaves begin to die That means he's lost his will to live [Chorus] I'm so lonesome I could cry [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are [Chorus] I'm so lonesome I could cry I'm so lonesome I could cry
