Leaving - Clifford T. Ward

You walked into the room

Sat down on the chair

Didn’t say anything

Didn’t look anywhere

Poured the coffee in the cup

Took the jug off the tray

Poured the milk in the coffee

Drank the cafe au lait

You lit a cigarette up

And just stared into space

And a tear from your eye

Left a mark on your face

You took your handkerchief out

And brushed the tear away

Put the cups in the sink

And the coffee away

Checked the time on your watch

Put the milk in the fridge

Ran the water to hot

Then you washed up the cups

You took your coat off the hook

And you opened the door

And walked out of my life

INSTRUMENTAL

The sun was shinin' brightly

No clouds in the sky

People talkin' outside

And the traffic went by

All the world was hurryin' on

Just as if there was nothing wrong

You walked into the room

Sat down on the chair

You didn’t say anything

Didn’t look anywhere

Poured the coffee in the cup

Took the jug off the tray

Poured the milk in the coffee

An' drank the cafe au lait

You lit a cigarette up

And just stared into space

And a tear from your eye

Left a mark on your face

You took your handkerchief out

And wiped the tear away

Put the cups in the sink

And the coffee away

Checked the time on your watch

Put the milk in the fridge

You ran the water to hot

Then you washed up the cups

You took your coat off the hook

And you opened the door

And walked out of my life
