Loneliness falls all around
And it's almost got me down
Well, I guess when it rains it pours
I'm dyin' for someone to live for
There's a whippoorwill out on a limb
Yeah, I know I'm more lonesome than him
Now I don't know what he's crying for
I'm dyin' for someone to live for
And the weepin' willow cries
Every time a good love says goodbye
I hear the tide coming in on the shore
I'm dyin' for someone to live for
The love of my life is long gone
And I don't know what I've done so wrong
I don't think I can take too much more
And I'm dyin' for someone to live for
And the weepin' willow cries
Every time a good love says goodbye
I hear the tide coming in on the shore
And I'm dyin' for someone to live for
You're dyin' for someone to live for
