• 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
In fact, 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 curled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard
the sound of rain
The day before you came
