Hear the sad weary voices crying
In the city night
It's the sound of the lonely,
They're singing blues
People walking along through
The steel and the neon light
They are tired of their struggling
And paying dues

Nobody seems to care
Nobody knows they are there

Listen, listen to the lonely
Listen, listen to the lonely
Listen, listen to the lonely
They're alone in the crowd
All the noise is too loud
No one hears what they have to
Say

Restless boys picking fights in the
Streets and the avenues
All the old folks are hiding
They're too scared to move
Empty faces staring from their
Empty rooms
Children crying for love that
They never ever knew

Nobody seems to care
Nobody knows they are there

Listen, listen to the lonely
Listen, listen to the lonely
Listen, listen to the lonely
They're alone in the crowd
All the noise is too loud
No one hears what they have to
Say
They are lost in the flow
They've got no place to go
Their lives just seem to slip away

Listen, listen to the lonely
Listen, listen to the lonely
Listen, listen to the lonely
Listen, listen to the lonely
