Theme ID: 5782
Album: N/A


I don't want to ride the milk train anymore

I'll go to bed at nine and waken with the dawn

And lunch at half past noon and dinner prompt at five

The comfort of a few old friends long past their prime



Pass the tea and sympathy for the good old days long gone

We'll drink a toast to those who most believe in what they've won

It's a long, long time 'til morning plays wasted on the dawn

And I'll not write another line, for my true love is gone



When the guests have gone, I'll tidy up the rooms

And turn the covers down, and gazing at the moon

Will pray to go quite mad and live in long ago

When you and I were one, so very long ago



Pass the tea and sympathy for the good old days long gone

We'll drink a toast to those who most believe in what they've won

It's a long, long time 'til morning plays wasted on the dawn

And I'll not write another line, for my true love is gone



When I have no dreams to give you anymore

I'll light a blazing fire and wait within the door

And throw my life away, "I wonder why?" they all will say

And now I lay me down to sleep, forever and a day



Pass the tea and sympathy, for the good old days are dead

Let's drink a toast to those who best survived the life they've led

It's a long, long time 'til morning, so build your fires high

Now I lay me down to sleep, forever by your side
