Leaving Lyrics - 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.
