Often is a Word I Seldom Use — текст песни (John Prine)

I know that youre sad

I know that youre lonely

You lie awake till way past when

I want you to know

That Im leaving you only

cause I might not get the chance again.



Chorus:

Im cold and Im tired

And I cant stop coughing

Long enough to tell you all of the news

Id like to tell you

That Ill see you more often

But often is a word I seldom use

Often is a word I seldom use.



Tell me, where did the weekend go?

Tell me, where did the weekend go?

Went like thunder, felt like snow.

Went like thunder, felt like snow.



You must think my lifes a circus

Watching me laughing

And slapping my thighs

Howd ya like to die

In the house of mirrors

With nobody around to close your eyes.



Chorus:



Going down to the greyhound station

Going back home

And get whats mine

Got me a date

With the ten oclock special

Gonna be there at a quarter to nine.



Chorus:
