Melancholy Cafe

I'm the cafe down on Lonely and Main

My special is heartache and pain

You can order what you're longing for

But it always comes out the same

Party of one at a table for two

I'll seat you with the cold hard truth

It's a blackened night

But at least you'll get my window view

On the menu we have lost dreams

Wash it down with some half empty memories

Thinking this ain't how life's supposed to be

But here at the Melancholy Cafe

There's never room, but I'll never turn you away

And you can feed that empty feeling inside

And feel as empty as when you first walked by

Yeah, we all come here to dine alone

But some of them sometimes, they come in

And they make themselves at home

Ruth comes by every Tuesday at eight

She has her reservations but doesn't mind the wait

She'll hang around 'til closing time

Just thinking about what's on her plate

John he stops by every day for a while

He sits around and thinks about his life as a child

He never seems to lose that Mona Lisa smile

Happy hour, what for?

It's loneliness that keeps them coming back through my door

And they'll keep wanting more

But at the Melancholy Cafe

There's never room, but I'll never turn you away

And you can feed that empty feeling inside

And feel as empty as when you first walked by

Yeah, we all come here to dine alone

But some of them sometimes, they come in

And they make themselves at home

Yeah, sometimes we all just need to be alone

But some of them sometimes, they come in

And they make themselves at home

I'm the cafe down on Lonely and Main

My special is heartache and pain

You can order what you're longing for

But it always comes out the same
