Rarely performed gem written by Arthur Alexander...
nice laid back feel for this one!
Verse 1
=======
Â
My house is a lonely house
But it once was a happy house
/ /
And the two of us were happy as I re-call
Refrain 1
=========
But now the rain falls a-round it
And loneliness sur-rounds it
And I am in the middle of it all
Verse 2
=======
My friends look at me and say
I wonder what made that boy that way
/ /
The boy doesn t even smile at all
Refrain 2
=========
But I wonder what they would say
If their world just came down one day
And they were in the middle of it all
Bridge
======
I gave that girl all the love that I had
Had to give
And the love that I gave her
Was real and real and real
Verse 3
=======
Now I ache yeah
With heart-breaking pain
And the hurt that I just cant explain
/ /
Yes it looks like my life is about to fall
Refrain 3 / end
===============
But I feel a shadow round me
But sadness has found me
And me I m in the middle of it all
I m sitting right here in the middle
