Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Another Small Thing In Her Favour

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 favour

Got the kids in the car

Dreams will get you just so far

Then life gives you bitter pills to savour

Still she kissed me once more

As she gently slammed the door

That's another small thing in her favour

She said she felt bad

For the home that we had

And the effort I'd wasted to save her

She told me as much

As she slowly let out the clutch

That's another small thing in her favour

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

For a while our vows didn't waver

I relied on her smile

And her love, for a while

That's another small thing in her favour

That's another small thing in her favour
