Lyrics:

I went into the loneliness house
Went on in and I locked the door
Seen a lot of trouble when I was out and about
I might not come out no more

Pulled down the shades in the loneliness house
I don't like it when the light's too bright
People in the neighborhood, I seen 'em shout
'You're right down the street from Love and Delight.'

Sometimes my baby gets so sad
She stopped by the other day
I wouldn't answer and she got mad
She said, 'When you gonna come back out and play?'

Like an old grizzly down in his den
Snorting and growling and turning about
Maybe if I smell Spring on the wind
I might think about coming back out

It gets pretty quiet in the loneliness house
There is trouble in the city, everybody screaming
Once in a while I look out
And it seems like you're just better off dreaming

It gets kind of lonely in the loneliness house
But the rain will freeze and the sun will scorch
I hate to leave my dreams and doubts
But I think I might go sit on the porch
