Oh lonely crowd, how can it be? I'm lost in the shuffle and cannot find meWhen I was a girl in a dull little town I longed for the city I dreamed of renownI saved what I earned and I made me a dress And one day I left on the Northern ExpressOh lonely crowd, how can it be? I'm lost in the shuffle and cannot find meA man took my hand and I gave him my heart He said I would go places right from the startHe dressed me up fine and I looked like a queen I saw the sights that I never had seenOh lonely crowd, how can it be? I'm lost in the shuffle and cannot find meIn time I grew wise and I added some years I found that champagne can be watered with tearsI longed for old friends who are loyal and true I'd pack to go back to the ones I once knewI'd beat their great pride and they'd hail me their own And I'd nevermore always feel so aloneI pictured it all to the band that would play But they didn't know I was even awayOh lonely crowd, how can it be? I'm lost in the shuffle and cannot find me
