Miss Lonely Are You Blue - Eric Andersen

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
