The Day Before You Came

In the style of

ABBA

Lyrics

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
paper going into town

and having gotten
through the editorial
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 seventh
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

without really
knowing anything
i hid a part of me away

at five 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 paper then

oh yes i'm sure
my life was well
within' it's 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, i think
a single episode of dallas
that i didn't 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 one

by marilyn french
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

cuddled up for
yet another night

and rattling on the roof
i must have heard

the sound of rain

the day before you came
