Loneliness House

I went into the loneliness house

I went on in and locked the door

Seen a lot of trouble when I was out and about

I might not come out no more

Pulled down the shades in the loneliness house

I don't like it when the light's too bright

People in the neighborhood I've seen them shout

"You're right down the street from over and delight"

Sometimes my baby gets so sad

She stopped by the other day

I wouldn't answer and she got mad

She said "When are you gonna come back out and play?"

Like an old grizzly down in his den

Snortin' and a growling and turnin' about

Maybe if I smell Spring on the wind

I might think about coming back out

It gets pretty quite in the loneliness house

But there's trouble in the city everybody screaming

Once in a while I look out

And it seems like you're just better off dreaming

It gets kind of lonely in the loneliness house

But the rain will freeze and the sun will scorch

I hate to leave my dreams and doubts

But I think I might go sit on the porch
