The Day Before You Came, Lyrics, Guitar Chords, Acoustic Cover, ABBA, Steven Wilson
[Verse 1: Agnetha]
I must have left my house at eight because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so, the usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained, the day before you came
[Verse 2: Agnetha]
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame, the day before you came
[Vocalisations: Frida]
[Am] Ohhhhh ohhh [E] ohhh
[Dm] [G] Ohhhhhhhhh [Am] hhhhhh
[Am] Ahhhhh [Am] Ahhhhh [E] Ahhhh [Am] Ahhhhh
[Verse 3: Agnetha]
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of "Dallas" that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while the latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim, the day before you came
[Outro: Agnetha]
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came
[Vocalisations: Frida]
[Am] Ohhhhh ohhh [E] ohhh
[D] Ohhhhhhhhh [Am] hhhhhh
[F] Ahhhhh [Am] Ahhhhh [Am] Ahhhh [E] Ahhhhh [Am] Ahhhhh

I must have left my house at eight because I always do
8시에 집을 나와야 했어 왜냐면 언제나 그랬으니까
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
내 기차, 난 확신해, 제시간에 역을 떠났어
I must have read the morning papers going into town
난 도시로 가는 아침 신문을 틀림없이 읽었어
And having gotten through the editorials, no doubt I must have frowned
그리고 사설을 통해 눈살을 찌푸린 게 틀림없어
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
난 틀림없이 9시 15분 후에 내 책상을 청소했어
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
읽어야 할 편지들과, 서명을 기다리는 종이 더미를
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so, the usual place, the usual bunch
난 틀림없이 보통 장소, 보통 점심을 12시 30에 먹으러 갔어
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
그리고 아직 이 외에 틀림없이 비가 내렸다고 꽤 확신해
The day before you came
네가 오기 전 날
I must have lit my second cigarette at half past two
난 틀림없이 두 번째 담배를 두 시 반에 불붙였어
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
그리고 그때 난 내가 우울했다는 걸 전혀 알지도 못했어
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
난 틀림없이 그 날 업무에 계속 시달렸어
And without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
그리고 정말 아무것도 모른 채 내 일부를 숨겼어
At six I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
난 틀림없이 6시에 떠났어, 규칙에 예외는 없어
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
내가 학교를 마친 이후 해온 틀
The train back home again, undoubtedly I must have read the evening papers then
다시 집으로 돌아가는 기차, 확실히 틀림없이 난 저녁 신문을 읽었어
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
오 그래, 확신하는데 내 평생 동안 내 인생은 잘 돌아갔어
The day before you came
네가 오기 전날까지
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
난 틀림없이 8시쯤에 현관문을 열었어
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
그리고 혼자 중국 음식을 사러갔지
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
확실히 TV에서 뭔가를 보며 저녁을 먹었어
There's not a single episode of House of Cards that I have failed to see
내가 보는데 실패한 '하우스 오브 카드' 에피소드는 한개도 없어
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
난 틀림없이 10시 15분쯤 침대로 갔어
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
난 많이 잘 필요가 있어, 그리고 그래서 난 그때 침대에 있는 걸 좋아해
I must have read a while, the latest Margaret Atwood book or something in that style
난 틀림없이 잠시 마가렛 애트우드 책이나 그 스타일의
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
재밌지, 하지만 목표없이 사는 건 감각이 없었어
The day before you came
네가 오기 전날까진
And turning out the light
그리고 불을 꺼
I must have yawned and settled in for yet another night
난 틀림없이 하품했고 앞으로도 또 다른 밤을 안정적으로 보내고
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
지붕 위에서 덜컹거리는 빗소리를 들었을 거야
The day before you came
네가 오기 전날까진
