Blueside 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've 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



[Chorus]

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 bar stool, 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 past, no future

We're the ones who have lost in love's race



[Chorus]
