You walked into the room Sat down on the chair Didn't say anything Didn't look anywhere Poured the coffee in the cup Took the jug off the tray Poured the milk in the coffee Drank the cafe au lait You lit a cigarette up And just stared into space And a tear from your eye Left a mark on your face You took your handkerchief out And brushed the tear away Put the cups in the sink And the coffee away Checked the time on your watch Put the milk in the fridge Ran the water to hot Then you washed up the cups You took your coat off the hook And you opened the door And walked out of my life.
The sun was shinin' brightly No clouds in the sky People talkin' outside And the traffic went by All the world was hurryin' on Just as if there was nothing wrong.
