Lonesome © Bill Williams 22/5/2012

Is she sitting by the doorway?
Just to catch the evening breeze.
No,.........she’s sitting waiting,
Just for some one to come?

So she sits a little longer
As the night comes slowly down,
And yes?........She is so lonely
For time is slowly dragging on.

So she sits a while longer
As darkness is creeping on,
But still she’s sitting there
And hoping in her heart,.....she’s wrong

She rises,.........lights the lantern
Stoke the fire in the stove,
Then sits there by the doorway
Waiting,.......for some one to come

don't know but use a string of dots ............not dolly dots though

thank Maureen that works. To me when I say it out aloud the extended breaks are very important and place more feeling into it

thank that is one I owe you bill the old battler

"Thanks" Bill.
