The Blue Side of 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 end up here

If your new romance turns out a failure

Here's where to find me, my dear

I'm just on the blue side of lonesome

Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel

In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops

On a barstool not doing so well

The floor has a carpet of sorrow

But no one can weep in the aisle

And they say someone broke the bar mirror

With only the ghost of a smile

The hands on the clock never alter

For things never change in this place

There's no present, no future, no past, dear

You're the one who has lost in love's race

I'm just on the blue side of lonesome

Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel

In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops

On a barstool not doing so well
