Richard Thompson - Another small thing and a favor lyrics

rate me

Got her ducks

All in a row

Got her bags

All packed to go

She'll find some other poor pilgrim who's braver

At least she looked me in the eye

With her less than fond goodbye

That's one small thing in her favor.

Got the kids in the car

Dreams will get you just so far

Then life gives you bitter pills to savor

Still she kissed me once more

As she gently slammed the door

That's another small thing in her favour.

And she said she felt bad

For the home that we had

And the effort I'd wasted to save her

Well, she told me as much

As she slowly let out the clutch

That's another small thing in her favour.

Now it's a slippery slope

To give her more rope

And I didn't exactly enslave her

And she says I'm still a part

Of her wandering heart

That's another small thing in her favour.

Now there's trouble and strife

But we once had a life

And for a while our vows didn't waver

I relied on her smile

And her love, for a while

Well, that's another small thing in her favour

Oh, that's another small thing in her favour.
