ABBA - The Day Before You Came

[00:08.74] I must have left my house at eight because I always do [00:16.44] My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due [00:19.29] [00:24.59] I must have read the morning paper going into town [00:27.40] [00:32.09] And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned [00:34.46] [00:41.15] I must have made my desk [00:43.84] Around a quarter after nine [00:46.89] [00:49.71] With letters to be read [00:52.03] And heaps of papers waiting to be signed [00:55.81] [00:58.96] I must have gone to lunch [01:01.25] At half past 12 or so [01:02.95] The usual place, the usual bunch [01:07.70] And still on top of this, I'm pretty sure it must have rained [01:14.26] The day before you came [01:20.00] I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two [01:24.06] [01:27.69] And at the time, I never even noticed I was blue [01:35.46] I must have kept on dragging [01:37.58] Through the business of the day [01:41.08] [01:43.57] Without really knowing anything [01:46.12] I hid a part of me away [01:51.82] At five, I must have left [01:54.77] There's no exception to the rule [01:58.75] [02:00.76] A matter of routine [02:03.14] I've done it ever since I finished school [02:08.86] The train back home again [02:12.01] Undoubtedly, I must have read the evening paper then [02:18.77] Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame [02:25.28] The day before you came [02:30.18] [03:02.06] I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so [03:09.75] And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go [03:17.63] I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV [03:25.34] There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see [03:34.50] I must have gone to bed [03:37.18] Around a quarter after ten [03:43.14] I need a lot of sleep [03:45.39] And so I like to be in bed by then [03:51.33] I must have read a while [03:54.58] The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style [04:00.91] It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim [04:07.46] The day before you came [04:13.05] And turning out the light [04:15.26] I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night [04:21.92] And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain [04:28.65] The day before you came [04:31.35]
