[Verse 1]
Loneliness falls all around
And it's almost got me down
Well, I guess when it rains it pours
I'm dying for someone to live for

[Verse 2]
There's a whippoorwill out on a limb
Yeah, I know I'm more lonesome than him
Now I don't know what he's crying for
I'm dying for someone to live for

[Chorus]
And the weeping willow cries
Every time a good love says goodbye
I hear the tide coming in on the shore
I'm dying for someone to live for

[Verse 3]
The love of my life is long gone
And I don't know what I've done so wrong
I don't think I can take too much more
And I'm dying for someone to live for

[Chorus]
And the weeping willow cries
Every time a good love says goodbye
I hear the tide coming in on the shore
And I'm dying for someone to live for
[Outro]
Lord, I'm dying for someone to live for
