John Prine - Often Is A Word I Seldom Use Lyrics
I know that youre sadI know that youre lonelyYou lie awake till way past whenI want you to knowThat Im leaving you onlycause I might not get the chance again.Chorus:Im cold and Im tiredAnd I cant stop coughingLong enough to tell you all of the newsId like to tell youThat Ill see you more oftenBut often is a word I seldom useOften 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 lifes a circusWatching me laughingAnd slapping my thighsHowd ya like to dieIn the house of mirrorsWith nobody around to close your eyes.Chorus:Going down to the greyhound stationGoing back homeAnd get whats mineGot me a dateWith the ten oclock specialGonna be there at a quarter to nine.Chorus:
