[00:09.36]	It is a song for all of you who maybe were in a bad thing
[00:12.18]	and got out of it
[00:13.29]	and, and knew it.
[00:15.18]
[00:16.81]	And some of you may in a good thing
[00:17.90]	and got out of it
[00:18.77]	and you didn’t know it.
[00:21.70]	That is a drag
[00:22.57]
[00:25.09]	That’s called a remorse
[00:25.89]
[00:34.47]	And totally this is a song for anybody
[00:36.04]	who is in a good thing
[00:37.38]	and does know it
[00:39.76]
[00:53.64]	I watch you reading a book
[00:56.80]	I get to think our love’s a polished stone
[01:00.44]	You give me a long drawn look
[01:03.23]	I know pretty soon you are going to leave our home
[01:06.71]	And of course I mind
[01:09.66]	Especially when I°Øm thinking from my heart
[01:13.61]	But life don’t clickety clack down a straight line track
[01:16.93]	It comes together and it comes apart
[01:20.37]
[01:20.80]	You say you hope I°Øm not the kind to make you feel obliged
[01:26.45]	To go ticking through your time
[01:29.68]	With a pained look in your eyes
[01:34.12]	You give me the furniture
[01:36.49]	We’ll divide the photographs
[01:41.76]	Go out to dinner one more time
[01:44.69]	Have ourselves a bottle of wine
[01:47.22]	And a couple of laughs
[01:51.83]
[01:54.02]	And when first you left
[01:56.86]	I stayed so sad I wouldn’t sleep
[02:00.01]	I know that love’s a gift, I thought yours was mine
[02:03.75]	And something that I could keep
[02:06.22]	Now I realize that time is not the only compromise
[02:12.98]	But a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
[02:15.76]	Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
[02:19.81]
[02:20.23]	And, So I hope I'm not the kind
[02:22.48]	To make you feel obliged
[02:25.54]	To go ticking through your time
[02:28.79]	With a pained look in your eyes
[02:33.67]	I covered the furniture,
[02:36.79]	I framed the photographs
[02:39.59]
[02:41.99]	Went out to dinner one more time
[02:44.73]	Had myself a bottle of wine
[02:47.43]	and a couple of laughs
[02:51.35]
[02:51.74]	And just the other day
[02:55.32]	I got your letter in the mail
[02:58.12]	I'm happy for you, it's been so long
[03:01.15]	You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail
[03:04.34]	And I think that's great...
[03:08.02]	me... I seem to find myself in school
[03:11.01]	It's all Ok, I just want to say
[03:14.53]	I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel
[03:17.44]	But ain't life a brook
[03:20.62]	Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
[03:23.67]
[03:24.23]	I get me along drawn look
[03:27.07]	It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone
[03:30.46]	And sometimes I mind
[03:33.68]	Especially when I'm waiting on your heart
[03:37.14]	But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track
[03:40.69]	It comes together and it comes apart.
[03:43.94]
[03:44.49]	Cause I know you're not the kind
[03:46.67]	To make me feel obliged
[03:49.94]	To go ticking through my time with a pained look
[03:55.45]	In my eyes
[03:58.11]	I sold the furniture,
[04:00.28]	I put away the photographs
[04:05.66]	Went out to dinner one last time
[04:09.23]	Have myself a bottle of wine
[04:11.82]	And a couple of laughs
