This Time of Night

This time of night
The whole damn world seems lonely,
Lonely as a tomb.
The moon is bright,
But here I sit,
Alone in my room.

This time of night
I think I know why dogs howl at the moon.
This time of night
I think I see why fights suddenly break out in a saloon.

Ah, let it go …
Turn on the light.
Let it go,
Close, but not quite.

This time of night
The whole damn world seems lonely … lonely.
