letra de tea and sympathy [live on the old grey whistle test] - janis ian
[intro]
now i get to sing what i really want to sing, right? which is like a liberace medley.
[verse 1]
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
[chorus]
pass the tea and sympathy
for the good ol’ 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
[verse 2]
and when the guests have done i’ll tidy up the room
i’ll turn the covers down in gazing at the moon
i’ll pray to go quite mad
and live in long ago
when you and i were one, so very long ago
[chorus]
pass the tea and sympathy
for the good ol’ 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
[verse 3]
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
now i lay me down to sleep forever and a day
[chorus]
pass the tea and sympathy
for the good ol’ 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
[outro]
thank you.
