(Benny Andersson / Bjorn Ulvaeus)
|
|
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 it's usual frame
|
The day before you came.
|
|
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's not, 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 cuddled up for yet another night
|
And rattling on the roof
|
I must have heard the sound of rain
|
The day before you came.
