Frank Turner - A Decent Cup Of Tea lyrics

rate me

It hadn't been a day when everything had turned out right –<br />

She called me up and asked me to come over in the night, <br />

To make her cups of tea and listen quietly as she starts<br />

To list the latest list of bastards who have trampled on her heart.<br />

<br />

I see her in the nightclubs, I see her in the bars, <br />

At rooftop after-parties, or crammed into friends' cars, <br />

And we talk about the weather, and how she drowns her pain in drink, <br />

And I nod and never ever dare to tell her what I think.<br />

<br />

She summers by my seas<br />

But winters without me, <br />

And she cries into her tea<br />

That she's secretly lonely.<br />

And oh me, what am I to do?<br />

It's obvious to me, <br />

But she never seems to see<br />

That it's not about the days when everything has turned out right, <br />

No it's more about the moments when she calls me in the night<br />

To make her cups of tea and wash the weary worries from her head<br />

And then to draw the pain out slowly as I put her into bed.<br />

<br />

And I slip this information<br />

Into all our conversations<br />

But she never seems to listen<br />

And she never seems to see.
