《The Day Before You Came》歌词

[00:00:01] The Day Before You Came

[00:00:10] I must have left my house at eight because I always do

[00:00:17] My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due

[00:00:25] I must have read the morning paper going into town

[00:00:33] And having gotten through the editoria no doubt I must have frowned

[00:00:42] I must have made my desk

[00:00:44] Around a quarter after nine

[00:00:50] With letters to be read

[00:00:53] And heaps of papers waiting to be signed

[00:00:59] I must have gone to lunch

[00:01:02] At half past twelve or so the usual place the usual bunch

[00:01:08] And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained

[00:01:15] The day before you came

[00:01:21] I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two

[00:01:28] And at the time I never even noticed I was blue

[00:01:36] I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day

[00:01:44] Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away

[00:01:53] At five I must have left

[00:01:56] There's no exception to the rule

[00:02:01] A matter of routine

[00:02:04] I've done it ever since I finished school

[00:02:10] The train back home again

[00:02:13] Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then

[00:02:20] Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame

[00:02:26] The day before you came

[00:03:03] I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so

[00:03:11] And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go

[00:03:18] I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV

[00:03:26] There's not I think a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see

[00:03:35] I must have gone to bed

[00:03:38] Around a quarter after ten

[00:03:44] I need a lot of sleep

[00:03:46] And so I like to be in bed by then

[00:03:52] I must have read a while

[00:03:55] The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style

[00:04:02] It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim

[00:04:09] The day before you came

[00:04:14] And turning out the light

[00:04:16] I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night

[00:04:23] And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain

[00:04:30] The day before you came
