And Then I Read A Book
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You gave up my career
Promotion was insight
And just to keep the peace
I kept my mouth shut
Filling hours with others
Takes up too much time
I'm always catching colds
I never see to shake them off
You're never coming home, I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold and then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes I've got so many shoes
And then within the same breath you turn around and
Say it's just that I've never been in the position as to
Something sensible being drawn out of me
I had this awful dream
That all my teeth fell out
I couldn't live this way
So I slept for days on end
If my legs were made of wood
You would have never talked to me
And so it goes to show that all you want's
Above the knee
You're never coming home, I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold and then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes I've got so many shoes
And then within the same breath you turn around and
Say it's just that I've never been in the position as to
Something sensible being drawn out of me
You're never coming home, I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold and then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes I've got so many shoes
And then within the same breath you turn around and
Say it's just that I've never been in the position as to
Something sensible being drawn out of me
