Starlight from Boulevard by Rod MacDonald

Starlight

Walk along a street with bright lights flickering
and voices float from empty halls
groups of two are passing, arm in arm they’re passing
and I’m just one, that’s all

Sometimes the blues’ll take you where you should not go
where a woman holds a promise in her charms
you reach for someone just to have any someone
and spend a lonely night in her arms

Just because there’s that starlight
Just because it’s another sleepless night
Just because she’s gone from sight
That’s no reason not to be alone tonight

It’s toast and coffee in a silent room
and a mirror staring at my eyes
If I had someone just to have any someone
would it be enough to hear her sighs

So I walk on out into another night
watch the people fill up the square
it’s just like numbers, you can count the numbers
there’s no reason I should care
