| I have to sit you down
|
| Let me tell you what itў‚¬"ўs all about
|
| Cause Iў‚¬"ўve been carrying a torch around
|
| And Iў‚¬"ўve forgotten how to snuff it out
|
| And you have been unkind
|
| And thatў‚¬"ўs a matter I cannot ignore
|
| You have to skirt around the truth sometimes
|
| But itў‚¬"ўs time I told you what I came here for
|
| To thank you for all the small favors
|
| Iў‚¬"ўm thinkinў‚¬"ў now I hope it doesnў‚¬"ўt change us
|
| And take us to a time when we were strangers
|
| In a two-station town
|
| You canў‚¬"ўt get the train to slow down
|
| Small favors
|
| Oh to you as sure as she was honest
|
| And now do you remember when you promised
|
| To forgive me someday
|
| The debts that I canў‚¬"ўt repay
|
| The debts that I canў‚¬"ўt repay
|
| And I cannot forget
|
| You looked at me as if Iў‚¬"ўd lost a bet
|
| And I hadnў‚¬"ўt opened up my big mouth yet
|
| And I thought of crawling back into the plane
|
| And though itў‚¬"ўs sad to tell
|
| I still remember how the dry-eye felt
|
| Across the curtains in the cheap hotel
|
| Lit-up dust clouds in the window pane
|
| And I thank you for all the small favors
|
| Iў‚¬"ўm thinkinў‚¬"ў now I hope it doesnў‚¬"ўt change us
|
| And take us to a time when we were strangers
|
| In a two-station town
|
| You canў‚¬"ўt get the train to slow down
|
| Small favors
|
| Iў‚¬"ўm thinkinў‚¬"ў now I hope it doesnў‚¬"ўt change us
|
| And take us to a time when we were strangers
|
| In a two-station town
|
| You canў‚¬"ўt get the train to slow down
|
| Small favors
|
| Oh to you as sure as she was honest
|
| Now do you remember when you promised
|
| Forgive me someday
|
| The debts that I canў‚¬"ўt repay
|
| The debts that I canў‚¬"ўt repay
|
| The debts that I canў‚¬"ўt repay |
