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 12 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
 And without really noticing, I must have 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
 There cannot be a single or a game show that I've never seen
 I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
 I sleep so much these days, I need to be in bed by then
 Or maybe I read a while
 The latest one by Declan, Gunn 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 dreamt my way through yet another night
 And rattling on the roof, I maybe heard the sound of rain
 (I love the rain)
 The day before you came
