Lonely Room

The floor creaks, the door squeaks. There's a field mouse a-nibbling on a broom. And I sit by myself like a cobweb on A shelf by myself in a lonely room. But when there's a moon in my window And it slants down a beam 'cross my bed, Then the shadow of a tree starts a-dancing on The wall and a dream starts a-dancing in my Head. And all the things that I wish for Turn out like I want them to be. And I'm better than that smart Alec coward Who thinks he is better than me. And the girl that I want ain't afraid of My arms and her own soft arms keep me Warm. And her long yellow hair falls across my face Just like the rain in a storm. The floor creaks, the door squeaks, And the mouse starts a-nibbling on a broom. And the sun flicks my eyes, it was all A pack of lies. I'm awake in a lonely room. I ain't gonna dream about her arms no more. I ain't gonna leave her alone. Going outside, get myself a bride. Get me a woman to call My Own.
