At the End of a Long Lonely Day

     I first heard "At the End of a Long Lonely Day" sung by Buz Marten and Bob Neuwirth in the early 1960s at a Berkeley Folk Music venue called the Cabale. It is one of the few songs I know that I can attribute my learning of a particular song to people that I knew. Although when I learned it, someone, I know not whom, attributed it to Marty Robbins. I have never seen or heard anything that backs up that attribution.

At the end of a long lonely day without you,
When the world seems to fall on its face,
I'm all right through the day,
But when the day fades away
The long dreary night takes its place.

    Another day of wishing you were here,
    I dread each lonely night that's filled with tears;
    Though I've tried and I've tried,
    These are tears I can't hide
    At the end of a long lonely day.

At the end of the day I go up to my room
And sit while the sun fades away,
And the loneliness there
Fills my heart with despair
At the end of a long lonely day.

    Another day to sit alone and cry,
    It makes no difference if I live or I die;
    With the world locked outside
    I'll just sit here and cry
    At the end of a long lonely day.
