Last Night
Lonely Nights: Finding Solace in Music and Sleep
Lyrics
I think I'll stay at home tonight
I choose to stay home tonight
Just play some records
Engaging in listening to music
And catch up on some sleep
Taking the opportunity to rest
Sometimes I like to be alone
Enjoying solitude at times
I've been so busy
Been occupied with various activities
Maybe someone will drop by
Open to the possibility of company
Last night when I went to bed
Reflecting on feelings before sleep
I was lonely
Experiencing loneliness
Last night when I went to bed
Feeling sadness before sleep
I was so blue
Expressing emotional distress
But that's the last night
Emphasizing the finality of the previous night
Yeah, that's the last night
Reiterating the significance of the last night
Well, that's the last night
Stressing the conclusive nature of the experience
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you
Determined not to lose sleep over a relationship
I waited for the phone to ring
Awaiting a phone call for connection
And when it didn't
Disappointment when the call doesn't come
I turned on the Carson show
Turning to television for distraction
I lit another cigarette
Coping with emotions through smoking
And dialed your number
Attempting to reach out by calling
But there was no one at home
No response as there's nobody at home
Last night when I went to bed
Reiteration of loneliness before sleep
I was lonely
Feeling alone as night approaches
Last night when I went to bed
Experiencing deep sadness before sleep
I was so blue
Expressing intense emotional blues
But that's the last night
Emphasizing the finality of the previous night (repeated)
Yeah, that's the last night
Reiterating the significance of the last night (repeated)
Well, that's the last night
Stressing the conclusive nature of the experience (repeated)
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you
Determined not to lose sleep over a relationship (repeated)
I walked across the street
Physical movement to the drugstore
To the drugstore and I bought a magazine
Purchasing a magazine for distraction
Then I came back home
Returning home to read the magazine
And read it through
Engaging in a solitary activity for diversion
Last night when I went to bed
Reiteration of loneliness before sleep (repeated)
I was lonely
Feeling alone as night approaches (repeated)
Last night when I went to bed
Experiencing deep sadness before sleep (repeated)
I was so blue
Expressing intense emotional blues (repeated)
But that's the last night
Emphasizing the finality of the previous night (repeated)
Yeah, that's the last night
Reiterating the significance of the last night (repeated)
Well, that's the last night
Stressing the conclusive nature of the experience (repeated)
I'm gonna lose any sleep over you
Determined not to lose sleep over a relationship (repeated)
I think I'll stay at home tonight
Choosing to stay home again
Just play some records
Engaging in listening to music again
And catch up on some sleep
Intending to catch up on sleep again
