Early this morning When you kissed me goodbye You said, "Don't wait up for me tonight." I felt awful And I wish to God That I'd had a chance to brush my teeth Well, it's a shame The mercury Is trapped inside This thermometer's case It will never Be free again Never again Sometimes When the afternoon train pulls away Like in a dream You wish could go On and on all night I am alone And you'll have to Force him to eat The lunch you prepared so long ago Early this morning When you kissed me goodbye You said, "Don't wait up for me tonight." So I didn't I went straight up to bed I guess I need to sleep a bit more than you I had a dream So trivial and tedious It would be a disgrace If I ever Met you again Never again Sometimes When the afternoon train pulls away Like in a dream You wish could go On and on all night I am alone And you'll have to Force him to eat The lunch you prepared so long ago Sometimes When the afternoon train pulls away Like in a dream (like in a dream) You wish could go On and on all night I am alone (I am alone) And you'll have to Force him to eat The lunch you prepared so long ago
