i'm dying for someone to live for

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

there's a whipporwhill out on a limb

but i know i'm more lonesome than him

now i don't know who he's crying for

but i'm dying for someone to live for

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

well the love of my life is long gone

and i don't know what i've done so wrong

but i don't think i can take too much more

i'm dying for someone to live for

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

yes i'm dying for someone to live for
