What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
2
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
3
I must have read the morning paper going into town
4
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
5
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
6
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
7
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
8
The usual place, the usual bunch
9
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
10
The day before you came
11
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
12
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
13
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
14
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
15
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
16
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
17
The train back home again
18
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
19
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
20
The day before you came
21
Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
22
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
23
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
24
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
25
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
26
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
27
I must have read a while
28
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
29
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
30
The day before you came
31
And turning out the light
32
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
33
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
34
The day before you came
