Topic: Clocks and Spoons

Hi I'm a newbi here so maybe I'm in the wrong place but...........
I'm a Trad. Irish fiddleplayer with a very catholic taste in songs. 30 yrs ago living in Amsterdam I met an American lady who was 'keen' on a US lady singer (?) who sang "Clocks and Spoons, in empty rooms. It's raining out 2night...."
Don't know singer we had a wonderful affair built around our "music practice" and I'd LOVE to get words+chords.
Any offers??
Peter
failing that ....if you know her new phone no...........???

(and yea - requests for songs should go in the "song request" forum - I'll move it)

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Hi

The song is on DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH by John Prine which I bought in the early 70s.  It is on Amazon today for $0.99.
