There's a wordless moon
That's watching tonight
There's a garden that's left to grow wild
There's a sound with no name
When a faraway train
Cries like an unloved child
The paint on the walls is peeling away
There's a photograph that fades on the shelf
But the memory stays on
Of a love that is gone
And I'm dancing by myself
Why, why, I wanna know
She went and left me nowhere to go
Why, why, tell me my friend
It's midnight lonesome again
How did I do this again?

For a change and a light
I'm still here
Oh, I'm dancing about
Why, why, did I get lost on my own?
Why do I feel like I'm alone now?
Why, why?
The moon's still alone
And I wonder sometimes
If that's why the train has to cry
So I ask right out loud
But there's no answer now
Cause I'm just talking to the sky
Now the morning is time to get ready
In the evening you take off your shoes
Well you work all the day
Till the sun's gone away
A midnight lays claim to the blues
Why, why, I wanna know
She went and left me
Nowhere to go
Why, why, tell me my friend
It's midnight and lonesome again
Hey, why, why, I wanna know
She went and left me
Nowhere to go
Why, why, hear the blues come back in
It's midnight and lonesome
Yeah, it's midnight and lonesome again
Yeah, it's midnight and lonesome again
It's midnight and lonesome again
Yeah, it's midnight and lonesome again
