Often Is a Word I Seldom Use

I know that you're sad

I know that you're lonely

You lie awake till way past when

I want you to know that

I'm leaving you only

'Cause I may not get the chance again

I'm cold and I'm tired

And I can't stop coughing

Long enough to tell you all the news

I'd like to tell you that I'll see you more often

But often is a word I seldom use

Often is a word I seldom use

Tell me, where did the weekend go?

Tell me, where did the weekend go?

Went like thunder, felt like snow

Went like thunder, felt like snow

You must think my life's a circus

Watching me laughing

And slapping my thigh

How'd ya like to die in a house of mirrors

With nobody around to close your eyes?

I'm cold and I'm tired

And I can't stop coughing

Long enough to tell you all the news

I'd like to tell you that I'll see you more often

But often is a word I seldom use

Often is a word I seldom use

Tell me, where did the weekend go?

Tell me, where did the weekend go?

Went like thunder, felt like snow

Went like thunder, felt like snow

Going down to the Greyhound station

Going back home and get what's mine

Got me a date with a 10 O'clock special

Gonna be there at a quarter to 9

I'm cold and I'm tired

And I can't stop coughing

Long enough to tell you all the news

I'd like to tell you that I'll see you more often

But often is a word I seldom use

Often is a word I seldom use

Often is a word I seldom use
