I try to be patient, I try not to moan

But it's driving me crazy, tryin' to live here alone



My conversation gets nowhere

When I talk to myself

I've lost my sense of humour

Somewhere here on the shelf



The moon is wasting its shine, shining on me

Until I see you again,

I won't be out in the moonlight,

Well I'll be sleeping by ten



The birds are wasting their songs, singin' to me

Until I'm wakin' with you,

Until you're back in my arms, dear,

The birds will have to find something better to do



A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine

But it's not much comfort when I'm cryin' all night

Friends and relations

Are running out of patience with me

I keep myself to myself but I'm no company



The moon is wastin' its shine, shinin' on me

Until I see you again,

I won't be out in the moonlight,

Well I'll be sleepin' by ten



The birds are wastin' their song, singin' to me

Until I'm wakin' with you,

Until you're back in my arms, dear,

The birds will have to find something better to do



The birds will have to find something better to do
