In the Corner
Echoes of Sorrow: Conversations by the Jukebox
Lyrics
In the corner, at the table, by the jukebox
In a specific location, near the jukebox, at a table, there is a gathering.
My favorite mourners and I talk about these ol hard knocks
The speaker and companions discuss life's challenges and difficulties.
Our lives are measured there by the bar's clocks
Time is marked by the clocks in the bar, symbolizing the passage of their lives.
In the corner, at the table, by the jukebox
The same scene is reiterated, emphasizing its significance.
So step inside where love has died and you'll sure find me
Inviting the listener to enter a space where love has faded, and the speaker can be found.
With sadness in a haunted place that's bound to be
The location is haunted by sadness, creating a somber atmosphere.
Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked
Sorrow is concealed behind a locked door, indicating the speaker's emotional state.
In the corner, at the table, by the jukebox
A repetition of the initial scene, emphasizing its importance and the speaker's presence.
In the corner, at the table, by the jukebox
Reiteration of the gathering, inviting others to join when facing life's challenges becomes difficult.
Come and join me when you ain't able to face life's roadblocks
Encouraging others to join in times of hardship and obstacles.
For here is where the sorrow it don't ever stop
Emphasizing that sorrow persists in this place without respite.
In the corner, at the table, by the jukebox
Restating the scene, underscoring its significance and the perpetual sorrow.
So, step inside where love has died and you'll sure find me
A repetition of the invitation to a space marked by the absence of love.
With sadness in a haunted place that's bound to be
Describing the haunted nature of the place, filled with enduring sadness.
Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked
The sorrow is hidden behind a locked door, suggesting a reluctance to express or confront it.
In the corner, at the table, by the jukebox
Reiteration of the initial scene, reinforcing its importance and the speaker's presence.
Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked
Repeating the idea of sorrow being concealed behind a locked door in this specific location.
In the corner, at the table, by the jukebox
Emphasizing once again the gathering near the jukebox, portraying a persistent theme of sorrow.
