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] |
