[00:00.219]Bruno Coulais -The Day Before You Came
[00:10.30]I must have left my house at eight because I always do
[00:17.530]My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due
[00:25.320]I must have read the morning paper going into town
[00:33.260]And having gotten through the editoria no doubt I must have frowned
[00:42.00]I must have made my desk
[00:44.760]Around a quarter after nine
[00:50.880]With letters to be read
[00:53.190]And heaps of papers waiting to be signed
[00:59.920]I must have gone to lunch
[01:02.110]At half past twelve or so the usual place the usual bunch
[01:08.720]And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
[01:15.410]The day before you came
[01:21.10]I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
[01:28.890]And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
[01:36.680]I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
[01:44.680]Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
[01:53.230]At five I must have left
[01:56.110]There's no exception to the rule
[02:01.960]A matter of routine
[02:04.400]I've done it ever since I finished school
[02:10.320]The train back home again
[02:13.390]Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
[02:20.120]Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
[02:26.800]The day before you came
[03:03.930]I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
[03:11.290]And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
[03:18.970]I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
[03:26.890]There's not I think a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[03:35.870]I must have gone to bed
[03:38.560]Around a quarter after ten
[03:44.730]I need a lot of sleep
[03:46.990]And so I like to be in bed by then
[03:52.850]I must have read a while
[03:55.840]The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
[04:02.620]It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
[04:09.240]The day before you came
[04:14.850]And turning out the light
[04:16.910]I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
[04:23.720]And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
[04:30.450]The day before you came
