0:00The Day Before You Came - Meryl Streep
0:10I must have left my house at eight
0:12Because I always do
0:18My train I'm certain
0:20Left the station just when it was due
0:26I must have read the morning papers
0:29Going into town
0:35And having gotten through the editorials
0:38No doubt I must have frowned
0:44I must have made my desk
0:48Around a quarter after nine
0:54With letters to be read
0:57And heaps of papers waiting to be signed
1:04I must have gone to lunch
1:06At half past twelve or so
1:08The usual place the usual bunch
1:13And still on top of this
1:15I'm pretty sure it must have rained
1:21The day before you came
1:31I must have lit my second cigarette
1:34At half past two
1:40And at the time
1:41I never even noticed I was blue
1:48I must have kept on
1:49Dragging through the business of the day
1:57And without really knowing anything
1:59I hid a part of me away
2:06At six I must have left
2:09There's no exception to the rule
2:16A matter of routine
2:18I've done it ever since I finished school
2:25The train back home again
2:28Undoubtedly I must have read
2:30The evening papers then
2:35Oh yes I'm sure my life was well
2:37Within its usual frame
2:42The day before you came
3:26I must have opened my front door
3:29At eight o'clock or so
3:35And stopped along the way
3:37To buy some chinese food to go
3:43I'm sure I had my dinner
3:45Watching something on tv
3:52There's not a single episode of
3:54House of cards that I have failed to see
4:01I must have gone to bed
4:04Around a quarter after ten
4:11I need a lot of sleep
4:13And so I like to be in bed by then
4:20I must have read a while
4:23The latest margaret atwood book
4:25Or something in that style
4:30It's funny
4:31But I had no sense of living without aim
4:38The day before you came
4:43And turning out the light
4:46I must have yawned and settled in
4:48For yet another night
4:53And rattling on the roof
4:55I must have heard the sound of rain
5:00The day before you came
