The Lonely Nest 1922 'Orange Blossoms'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 30 Mar 2004

This house is roomy
and ought to do me;
yet it seems gloomy to me
where'er I roam;
it's most alarming
that it should be so charming
and yet never seem like home.

It's only a lonely nest,
I'm lonely and uncarressed.
There's no one to bring me cheer
where days are dreer,
to kiss me and call me dear.
But some day I'll cease to pine,
oh, some day, my eyes will shine,
when some one has come and blessed
this lonely nest of mine.

It's only a lonely nest,
I'm lonely and uncarressed.
There's no one to bring me cheer
where days are dreer,
to kiss me and call me dear.
But some day I'll cease to pine,
oh, some day, my eyes will shine,
when some one has come and blessed
this lonely nest of mine.

If there could come one,
a little someone,
who smiled demurely,
Surely - I would be his!
This is my prayer for
If I had him to care for,
this would not be what it is:

It's only a lonely nest,
I'm lonely and uncarressed.
There's no one to bring me cheer
where days are dreer,
to kiss me and call me dear.
But some day I'll cease to pine,
oh, some day, my eyes will shine,
when some one has come and blessed
this lonely nest of mine.

It's only a lonely nest,
I'm lonely and uncarressed.
There's no one to bring me cheer
where days are dreer,
to kiss me and call me dear.
But some day I'll cease to pine,
oh, some day, my eyes will shine,
when some one has come and blessed
this lonely nest of mine.
