ABBA - 03 The Day Before You Came Lyrics

I must have left my house at eight because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was two
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 but done it ever since I finished school
A 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

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 T.V.
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
