In the Afternoon

Winter came by my bedroom today

Falling in rows and covering the lane

Morning shone on my windows today

Passing the time I slumber away

To kill all the day

Stumbling up at once

And put the kettle on

But where's the coffee gone?

In the afternoon I put the tv on

But where's the drama gone?

In the afternoon

And time is all that passes

Someone came by my bedroom today

Swaying around then silently away

Someone left home and my bedroom today

Left by the time I slumbered away

To kill all the day

Some people don't hurry

Don't you worry they say

One day I'll be older

So much colder I say

This fear won't appear
