ANOTHER GLOOMY AFTERNOON

If you peeked into my room
You could catch me cryin´
I can´t look you in the eye
That´s why I´m droppin´ you a line

Now that all our hopeful days are gone
I´ll be off to leave this city soon
Where I´m gonna go-o-o-o-o
I can´t let you know-o-o-o-o

All the promises I´ve made
I wish I´d kept them yesterday
Anyway today it´s not too late
But it might be if I stayed

Now that all our hopeful days are gone
I´ll be off to leave this city soon
Where I´m gonna go-o-o-o-o
I can´t let you know-o-o-o-o

I´m so sick of makin´ you sick
I´m so tired of makin´ you tired
I´m so sad I´m makin´ you sad
I´m so badly tryin´ to be good

I know that I am out of favor with your friends
They keep asking you where all your marbles went
You have been warned of all my plans not getting´ done
Now it´s up to me to prove you´re right and they are wrong

Now that all our hopeful days are gone
I´ll be off to leave this city soon
Where I´m gonna go-o-o-o-o
I can´t let you know-o-o-o-o

It´s just another gloomy afternoon
I´ll be off to leave this city soon
Where I´m gonna go-o-o-o-o
I can´t let you know-o-o-o-o
Baby I will find a chance to finally make it
Somewhere someone´s wasted chance is waiting
For a man to take it
I´m gonna do my very best to be that man
And get back home to you
Hopefully it´s goin´ to be soon enough to find
You´re not sharin´ it with someone new
