The Day Before You Came |
| I must have left my house at eight because I always do |
| My train, I’m certain, left the station just when it was due |
| I must have read the morning papers going into town |
| And having gotten through the editorials, no doubt I must have frowned |
| I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine |
| With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed |
| I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so, the usual place, |
| the usual bunch |
| And still on top of this I’m pretty sure it must have rained |
| The day before you came |
| I must have lit my second cigarette at half past two |
| And at the time I never even noticed I was blue |
| I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day |
| And without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away |
| At six I must have left, there’s no exception to the rule |
| A matter of routine, I’ve done it ever since I finished school |
| The train back home again, undoubtedly I must have read the evening papers then |
| Oh yes, I’m sure my life was well within its usual frame |
| The day before you came |
| I must have opened my front door at eight o’clock or so |
| And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go |
| I’m sure I had my dinner watching something on TV |
| There’s not a single episode of House of Cards that I have failed to see |
| I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten |
| I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then |
| I must have read a while, the latest Margaret Atwood book or something in that |
| style |
| It’s funny, but I had no sense of living without aim |
| The day before you came |
| And turning out the light |
| I must have yawned and settled in for yet another night |
| And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain |
| The day before you came |
