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 might not get the chance again I'm cold and I'm tired And I can't stop coughing Long enough to tell you all of 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 thighs How'd ya like to die In the 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 of 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 Going down to the Greyhound station Going back home And get what's mine Got me a date With the ten o'clock special Gonna be there at a quarter to nine
