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
