Lyrics

Five o?clock whistle
Done for the day, I?m on my way
Stop at the tavern
Watch time disappear, like whiskey and beer
I come here each evening, ?cause I know she won?t walk through that door
She don?t matter anymore

You know the old story
Every book on your shelf, you?ve lived it yourself
Forget all the details
Like the faces and names, it all ends the same
And just who said it?s over, I can?t remember for sure
She don?t matter
She don?t matter
She don?t matter anymore

From my seat at the bar, I can see everything
The light that a love can bring
And the darkness that turns
They say time heals wounds
Maybe, but I don?t know
I watch couples come and go
And nobody learns

Last call and closing
No more for me, I?d better leave
I?ve got to work in the morning
And that keeps off the blues even better than booze
And each day I?ll work harder than I did just the day before, till
She don?t matter
She don?t matter
She don?t matter anymore
She don?t matter
She don?t matter
She don?t matter anymore
