Leaving

You walked into the room
Sat down on the chair
Didn't say anything
Didn't look anywhere
Poured the coffee in the cup
Took the jug off the tray
Poured the milk in the coffee
Drank the cafe au lait
You lit a cigarette up
And just stared into space
And a tear from your eye
Left a mark on your face
You took your handkerchief out
And brushed the tear away
Put the cups in the sink
And the coffee away
Checked the time on your watch
Put the milk in the fridge
Ran the water to hot
Then you washed up the cups
You took your coat off the hook
And you opened the door
And walked out of my life.
The sun was shinin' brightly
No clouds in the sky
People talkin' outside
And the traffic went by
All the world was hurryin' on
Just as if there was nothing wrong.
You walked into the room
Sat down on the chair
You didn't say anything
Didn't look anywhere
Poured the coffee in the cup
Took the jug off the tray
Poured the milk in the coffee
An' drank the cafe au lait
You lit a cigarette up
And just stared into space
And a tear from your eye
Left a mark on your face
You took your handkerchief out
And wiped the tear away
Put the cups in the sink
And the coffee away
Checked the time on your watch
Put the milk in the fridge
You ran the water to hot
Then you washed up the cups
You took your coat off the hook
And you opened the door
And walked out of my life
