do you sing "walkin after midnight" by Patsy Kline?

I take a walk almost every night right around midnight.....i just usually don't laugh out loud....sometimes i'll chuckle to myslef if i think of something funny, but for some reason it seems strange to me to talk or sing or laugh when you know you are completely alone.

I remember going camping on the Loyalsock River in eaglesmere, and at one point, my 2 friends hiked back to the truck and rode to town for beer or food or sumpin. They were gone for about 2 hours(we were pretty far out) So, I'm standing there on the river looking up and down and all around, and there's no one. NO ONE.

I thought, boy...I could scream or sing at the top of my lungs, and no one but maybe a bear is anywhere around to hear me. But I couldn't do it. I felt pretty small surrounded by the vastness of the landscape, and it just felt wrong to disturb the silence.

( I might have been tripping and the sensation COULD have been a little bit exaggerated. I don;t remember for sure, but I think that was why we usually went camping in the first place)
