ABBA | 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 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 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 , i think , a single episode of dallas that i did n'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 |
