Tea & Sympathy
Janis Ian
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I don't want to ride the milk train any more I'll go to bed at nine, and waken with the dawn And lunch at half past noon Dinner prompt at five The comfort of a few old friends long past their prime Pass the tea & sympathy For the good old days long gone Let's 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 I'll not write another line, For my true love is gone And when the guests have done I'll tidy up the room I'll 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 & sympathy For the good old days long gone Let's 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 I'll not write another line, For my true love is gone And when I have no dreams To give you any more, 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 & 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
