Midnight And Lonesome - Tab Benoit, Louisiana's Leroux

There’s a world less 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 peeling 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 no where to go

Why, why tell me my friend

It’s midnight and lonesome again

Instrumental

The moons still lonely I wonder sometime

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 morning its time to get ready

Then the evening take off your shoes

Well you worked hard all day

The suns gone away

And midnight lays claim to the blues

Why, why I want to know

She went left me no where to go

Why, why won’t tell me my friend

It’s midnight and lonesome again

Instrumental

Why, why I want to know

She went left me no where to go

Why, why won’t you tell me my friend

It’s midnight and lonesome again

It’s midnight and lonesome again
