I need someone, I need somebody to be a friend, 
I'm not alone, but still I'm lonely in the end. 
She was runnin' away on the 9 o'clock train, so very far from home, 
With a head full of schemes, a handfull of dreams. 
I was on my own. 

I know you're out there, I know you're there. 
Lonely, lonely is the night. 
Lonely, lonely is the night. 

What can I do, what can I say, to get her back 
Alone I wait before that train can bring her down the tracks. 
And the note that I read, I forgot what it said, but you we're gone 
I guess you can say it's the price that you pay for holding on. 

I know you're out there, I know you're there. 
Lonely, lonely is the night. Lonely, lonely is the night. 
Lonely, lonely is the night. Lonely, lonely is the night. 

If you want me, if you need me, I'll be there, 
If you want me, please believe me, I'll be waiting. 

I know you're out there, I know you're there. 
Lonely, lonely is the night. Lonely, lonely is the night. 
Lonely, lonely is the night. Lonely, lonely is the night.
