It's lonely out, the clouds are silver shining
It's lonely out, the wind is picking up
It's lonely out, the air seems so uncertain
It is lonely out.

The telephone is ringing and there ain't nobody there
The window shades are keeping out the dark
The light of night surrounds you as you walk across the floor
Some uninvited knock upon your door
Turning all your thoughts into a roar

It's lonely out, and the moon is almost empty
It's lonely out, and the shadows cannot hide
It's lonely out, and it's sneaking up behind you
It is lonely out.

[Solo]

It's lonely out, I can feel the distance
It's lonely out, it almost takes your breath
It's lonely out, and it's sneaking up behind you
It is lonely out.
