falling in rows and covering the lane
 morning shone on my windows today
 passing the time i slumber away
 to kill all the day

 stumbling up at once
 and put the kettle on
 but where's the coffee gone?
 in the afternoon i put the tv on
 but where's the drama gone?
 in the afternoon
 and time is all that passes

 someone came by my bedroom today
 swaying around  then silently away
 someone left home and my bedroom today
 left by the time i slumbered away
 to kill all the day

 some people don't hurry
 don't you worry they say
 one day i'll be older
 so much colder i say
 this fear won't appear
