With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
E A Ab C#m
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so

I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
B E
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away

At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule

The train back home again

And turning out the light
