JANIS IAN " TEA AND SYMPHATY"

I don't want to ride the milk train anymore
I'll go to bed at night, and wake in with the dawn
and lunch at half past noon, dinner prompt at five
comfort all the few old friends, long past their prime
Pass the tea and sympathy for good old days long gone
we'll drink a toast to those who most believed in what they won
it's a long long time till morning, plays wasted on the dawn
and I'll not write another line, for my true love is gone

When the guest have gone, I'll tidy up the rooms
I'll turn the covers down and gazing at the moon
I'll pray to go quite mad and ling in long ago
when you and I were one, so very long ago
Pass the tea and sympathy for good old days long gone
we'll drink a toast to those who most believed in what they won
it's a long long time till 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 good the 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 till morning, so build your fires high
now I lay me down to sleep, forever by your side
