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 morningpaper, 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 paper 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 and 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 to yet another night
and rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
the day before you came
