(Lonesome lonesome)
I'm calling to tell you it's over yes darling you're now free to go
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me but you hurt me much more than you know
You're asking me where this call comes from oh I hope that you won't interfere

In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops on a barstool not doing so well
The hands of the clock never alter for things never change in this place
There's no present no past and no future for the ones who have lost in love's race

The hands of the clock...
