	An almost deserted bar in a small town, the jukebox has just run out of its last quarter, the bartender polishes glasses in anticipation of the next day's business... everbeen there? Someone found out that people of the opposite sex actually look (subjectively) more attractive with every hour as the evening progresses. The result: noone will ever look any better than at closing time! And there is no better chance of setting up a one-night stand than in those few precious moments between the lastdrink and the time the bar closes its doors for the night. This song is about lonely people looking for company in a rather conventional way - and what may or maynot become of such a small-town adventure. This is slow waltz with plenty of time between lines for you to develop your own interpretation.

	Lyrics Someone turns down the music just as the glasses run dry The man at the bar says, "It's just about time" A strange kind of yearning is making the rounds Hungry souls longing for a love never found He sits at the table leaned over his drink He acts like he's listening but he needs time to think She's talking about a movie she saw at home in bed In her mind she's imagining how the evening will end They're running from loneliness Even though it's their only friend Two hearts are beating for a pillow to rest Even though they know this can't last The bartender watches as he reaches for his hand Already he can guess how this one will end Tonight they'll leave lovers and head for her place Maybe a month or two later she won't remember his face It's an old, familiar story that's told in every town About the hopes inspired by a bar closing down 90 times in a hundred when love arrives it's still-born But then there's the miracle and it lives to become more They're running from loneliness Even though it's their only friend Two hearts are beating for a pillow to rest Hoping against hope that this will last
