paroles de chanson One of Them Damn Days - John Hiatt

It was Monday or Tuesday
Or one of them damn days
I was staring backwards from the sun
Through an unrelenting haze
I was shaking, reaching for my cup
Trying to stir my life around
′Cause I thought I saw my baby
On the other side of town
They were just ten and eleven
And almost seventeen
She was barely thirty-five herself
When I turned drunk and mean
Someone said they seen 'em back
Why would they come around
But I thought I saw my baby
On the other side of town
Now the drunkard, he will go to lengths
To justify his state
But the truth is even one′s too much
When a hundred will not sate
Like a wrecking ball slung through the lives
Of all to whom he's bound
Well, I thought I saw my baby
On the other side of town
Well, I thought if I could make amends
And somehow get in touch
But then I had to take a drink
And it was all too much
I drank the whole rest of the day
I drank that bottle down
'Cause I thought I saw my baby
On the other side of town
It was Monday or Tuesday
Or one of them damn days
They keep comin′ ever after
Nothing changes, nothing stays
Just a flickering in black and white
An image with no sound
And I think I see my baby
On the other side of town
