Lonesome Standard Time

In the style of

Kathy Mattea

Lyrics

do ya feel
a kindred spirit
to the sound
of pourin' rain

does your heart
start to yearnin'
when ya hear
a distant train

if you'd like
to take that train
and ride
to someone
left behind

you don't
need the wind
to tell you
you're on lonesome
standard time

do ya sit alone
and think about
an old love
from the past
do you feel
a bit more empty
every time
you raise your glass

if the memory
of his kisses
sends a shiver
up your spine
you don't need
a watch to tell you
you're on lonesome
standard time

when ya hear
them old sad songs
do ya hang on
every word
do ya swear
a cryin' fiddle
has the sweetest
sound on earth

do ya shudder
at the music
of a hoot owl
in the pines
you're on lonesome
standard time

there's a bigger
clock a-tickin'
it crosses every zone

the first time
your old heart broke
was the time
you turned it on

it don't
never need a-windin'
'cause if it
works like mine
well there
ain't no doubt about it
you're on lonesome
standard time

oh when ya hear
them old sad songs
do ya hang on
every word
do ya swear
a cryin' fiddle
has the sweetest
sound on earth

do ya shudder
at the music
of a hoot owl
in the pines
you're on lonesome
standard time

well if ya shudder
at the music
of a hoot owl
in the pines
you're on lonesome
standard time
