the day before you came - blancmange
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 awhile
the latest one by barbara
cartland or something in that style
it's funny, but i have no
sense of living without aim
the day before you came
and turning out the lights
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
