There might be an airplane without a pilot
And I have known some early birds who never got their worm
I am feeling lonely as summer turns to autumn
The wind is blowing things around and baby you’re not one of them
The woman giving haircuts well she asks all kinds of questions
And I know it’s just formality but it all seems so rude
Because I am trying hard to fake a pleasant disposition
But the truth is darling, I’m feeling kind of blue
There’s no good reason for me to be lonely
So come home when you can
There’s still room in my two bedroom apartment
So come home when you can
I’ve been looking gawking at all the couples walking
And either side of me feels so bare without you near it
Just tell me when the snow is falling I can be in your arms
And we can be the couple in the ski lodge on the post card
There’s no good reason for me to be lonely
So come home when you can
There’s still room in my two bedroom apartment
So come home when you can
All the parking lots feel empty in all the late night markets
And the trash that once belonged to someone now lies on the ground
And I am in good company as all the shopping carts roll lonely
Bumping in to cars just to feel that someone’s there
There’s no good reason for me to be lonely
So come home when you can
There’s still room in my two bedroom apartment
So come home when you can
All the crossword puzzle boxes read frustrated thoughts
And the refrigerator magnets spell out “Oh dear, how I miss you!”
And I am feeling lonely as summer turns to autumn
The wind is blowing things around and baby you’re not one of them.
