Tea and Sympathy |
| I don’t want to ride |
| The milk train anymore |
| I’ll go to bed at nine |
| And waken with the dawn |
| And lunch at half passed noon |
| Dinner prompt at five |
| The comfort of a few old friends |
| Long passed their prime |
| Pass the tea and sympathy |
| For the good ol' days long gone |
| We’ll drink a toast to those who most |
| Believe in what they want |
| It’s a long, long time 'til mornin' |
| Lays wasted on the dawn |
| I’ll not write another line |
| For my true love is gone |
| When the guests have done |
| I’ll tidy up the room |
| I’ll turn the covers down |
| And gazing at the moon |
| I’ll pray to go quite mad |
| And live in long ago |
| Where you and I were once |
| So very long ago |
| Pass the tea and sympathy |
| For the good ole’days long gone |
| Let’s drink a toast |
| To those who most |
| Believe in what they want |
| It’s a long, long time 'til morning |
| Lays wasted on the dawn |
| I’ll not write another line |
| For my true love is gone |
| When I have no dreams |
| To give you anymore |
| I’ll lite a blazing fire |
| And wait within the door |
| And throw my life away |
| «I wonder why?», they all will say |
| Now I lay me down to sleep |
| Forever and a day |
| Pass the tea and sympathy |
| For the good ol' days are dead |
| Let’s drink a toast to those who best |
| Surrvived the life they’ve led |
| It’s a long, long time 'til mornin' |
| So build your fires high |
| Now I lay me down to sleep |
| Forever by your side |
