The Day Before You Came |
[00:10.30] |
I must have left my house at eight because I always do |
[00:13.840] |
|
[00:17.530] |
My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due |
[00:21.580] |
|
[00:25.320] |
I must have read the morning paper going into town |
[00:29.70] |
|
[00:33.260] |
And having gotten through the editoria no doubt I must have frowned |
[00:38.960] |
|
[00:42.0] |
I must have made my desk |
[00:43.640] |
|
[00:44.760] |
Around a quarter after nine |
[00:47.130] |
|
[00:50.880] |
With letters to be read |
[00:52.620] |
|
[00:53.190] |
And heaps of papers waiting to be signed |
[00:56.560] |
|
[00:59.920] |
I must have gone to lunch |
[01:02.110] |
At half past twelve or so the usual place, the usual bunch |
[01:06.290] |
|
[01:08.720] |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained |
[01:12.850] |
|
[01:15.410] |
The day before you came |
[01:17.460] |
|
[01:21.10] |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two |
[01:25.140] |
|
[01:28.890] |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue |
[01:33.0] |
|
[01:36.680] |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day |
[01:41.310] |
|
[01:44.680] |
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away |
[01:50.160] |
|
[01:53.229] |
At five I must have left |
[01:55.410] |
|
[01:56.110] |
There's no exception to the rule |
[01:58.720] |
|
[02:01.960] |
A matter of routine |
[02:04.400] |
I've done it ever since I finished school |
[02:07.950] |
|
[02:10.320] |
The train back home again |
[02:13.390] |
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then |
[02:17.500] |
|
[02:20.120] |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame |
[02:24.50] |
|
[02:26.800] |
The day before you came |
[02:28.860] |
|
[03:03.930] |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so |
[03:07.980] |
|
[03:11.290] |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go |
[03:15.850] |
|
[03:18.970] |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV |
[03:23.20] |
|
[03:26.890] |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see |
[03:32.0] |
|
[03:35.870] |
I must have gone to bed |
[03:38.560] |
Around a quarter after ten |
[03:40.990] |
|
[03:44.730] |
I need a lot of sleep |
[03:46.990] |
And so I like to be in bed by then |
[03:50.290] |
|
[03:52.850] |
I must have read a while |
[03:55.840] |
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style |
[04:00.430] |
|
[04:02.620] |
It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim |
[04:06.490] |
|
[04:09.240] |
The day before you came |
[04:11.290] |
|
[04:14.850] |
And turning out the light |
[04:16.910] |
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night |
[04:20.649] |
|
[04:23.720] |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain |
[04:28.10] |
|
[04:30.450] |
The day before you came |
[04:33.630] |
