Abba - The Day Before You Came lyrics

Must have left my house at eight, because I always do<br>My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due<br>I must have read the morning paper going into town<br>And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned<br>I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine<br>With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed<br>I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so<br>The usual place, the usual bunch<br>And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained<br>The day before you came<br><br>I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two<br>And at the time I never even noticed I was blue<br>I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day<br>Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away<br>At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule<br>A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school<br>The train back home again<br>Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then<br>Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame<br>The day before you came<br><br>Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so<br>And stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go<br>I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on tv<br>There's not, I think, a single episode of dallas that I didn't see<br>I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten<br>I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while<br>The latest one by marilyn french or something in that style<br>It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim<br>The day before you came<br><br>And turning out the light<br>I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night<br>And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain<br>The day before you came
