In the evening a winter July Against a cold window pane Fireside laughing is so far away From your life once again Up the stairs to the top of the house To see the stars playing their games You can picture the roles that they have It must be hard staying that way Cats on the road People inside Singing along to the band Lonely, lonely, lonely nighttimes Taking comfort from the rain
Echo, echoing back to the years So bitter, now let it rain There's a weight now that's pulling you down Like a lead shackle and chain Think of faces and places you love To help hide the pain Cats on the road People inside Singing along to the band Lonely, lonely, lonely nighttimes Taking comfort from the rain Echo, echoing back to the years So bitter, now let it rain
