[00:01:00] The Day Before You Came
[00:10:00] I must have left my house at eight because I always do
[00:17:00] My train I"m certain left the station just when it was due
[00:25:00] I must have read the morning paper going into town
[00:33:00] And having gotten through the editoria no doubt I must have frowned
[00:42:00] I must have made my desk
[00:44:00] Around a quarter after nine
[00:50:00] With letters to be read
[00:53:00] And heaps of papers waiting to be signed
[00:59:00] I must have gone to lunch
[01:02:00] At half past twelve or so  the usual place  the usual bunch
[01:08:00] And still on top of this I"m pretty sure it must have rained
[01:15:00] The day before you came
[01:21:00] I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
[01:28:00] And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
[01:36:00] I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
[01:44:00] Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
[01:53:00] At five I must have left
[01:56:00] There"s no exception to the rule
[02:01:00] A matter of routine
[02:04:00] I"ve done it ever since I finished school
[02:10:00] The train back home again
[02:13:00] Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
[02:20:00] Oh yes  I"m sure my life was well within its usual frame
[02:26:00] The day before you came
[03:03:00] I must have opened my front door at eight o"clock or so
[03:11:00] And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
[03:18:00] I"m sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
[03:26:00] There"s not  I think  a single episode of Dallas that I didn"t see
[03:35:00] I must have gone to bed
[03:38:00] Around a quarter after ten
[03:44:00] I need a lot of sleep
[03:46:00] And so I like to be in bed by then
[03:52:00] I must have read a while
[03:55:00] The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
[04:02:00] It"s funny but I had no sense of living without aim
[04:09:00] The day before you came
[04:14:00] And turning out the light
[04:16:00] I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
[04:23:00] And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
[04:30:00] The day before you came
