| [00:01.920] | The Day Before You Came |
| [00:10.30] | I must have left my house at eight because I always do |
| [00:13.840] | |
| [00:17.530] | My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due |
| [00:21.580] | |
| [00:25.320] | I must have read the morning paper going into town |
| [00:29.70] | |
| [00:33.260] | And having gotten through the editoria no doubt I must have frowned |
| [00:38.960] | |
| [00:42.0] | I must have made my desk |
| [00:43.640] | |
| [00:44.760] | Around a quarter after nine |
| [00:47.130] | |
| [00:50.880] | With letters to be read |
| [00:52.620] | |
| [00:53.190] | And heaps of papers waiting to be signed |
| [00:56.560] | |
| [00:59.920] | I must have gone to lunch |
| [01:02.110] | At half past twelve or so the usual place, the usual bunch |
| [01:06.290] | |
| [01:08.720] | And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained |
| [01:12.850] | |
| [01:15.410] | The day before you came |
| [01:17.460] | |
| [01:21.10] | I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two |
| [01:25.140] | |
| [01:28.890] | And at the time I never even noticed I was blue |
| [01:33.0] | |
| [01:36.680] | I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day |
| [01:41.310] | |
| [01:44.680] | Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away |
| [01:50.160] | |
| [01:53.229] | At five I must have left |
| [01:55.410] | |
| [01:56.110] | There's no exception to the rule |
| [01:58.720] | |
| [02:01.960] | A matter of routine |
| [02:04.400] | I've done it ever since I finished school |
| [02:07.950] | |
| [02:10.320] | The train back home again |
| [02:13.390] | Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then |
| [02:17.500] | |
| [02:20.120] | Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame |
| [02:24.50] | |
| [02:26.800] | The day before you came |
| [02:28.860] | |
| [03:03.930] | I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so |
| [03:07.980] | |
| [03:11.290] | And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go |
| [03:15.850] | |
| [03:18.970] | I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV |
| [03:23.20] | |
| [03:26.890] | There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see |
| [03:32.0] | |
| [03:35.870] | I must have gone to bed |
| [03:38.560] | Around a quarter after ten |
| [03:40.990] | |
| [03:44.730] | I need a lot of sleep |
| [03:46.990] | And so I like to be in bed by then |
| [03:50.290] | |
| [03:52.850] | I must have read a while |
| [03:55.840] | The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style |
| [04:00.430] | |
| [04:02.620] | It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim |
| [04:06.490] | |
| [04:09.240] | The day before you came |
| [04:11.290] | |
| [04:14.850] | And turning out the light |
| [04:16.910] | I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night |
| [04:20.649] | |
| [04:23.720] | And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain |
| [04:28.10] | |
| [04:30.450] | The day before you came |
| [04:33.630] |
