Loneliness falls all around
And it's almost got me down
Well I guess when it rains it pours
I'm dying for someone to live for

There's a whipporwhill out on a limb
But I know I'm more lonesome than him
Now I don't know who he's crying for
But I'm dying for someone to live for

And the weeping willow cries
Every time a good love says goodbye
I hear the tide coming in on the shore
I'm dying for someone to live for

Well the love of my life is long gone
And I don't know what I've done so wrong
But I don't think I can take too much more
I'm dying for someone to live for

And the weeping willow cries
Every time a good love says goodbye
I hear the tide coming in on the shore
I'm dying for someone to live for
Yes I'm dying for someone to live for
