Janis Ian – Tea & Sympathy

Janis Ian – Tea & Sympathy Lyrics

Artist: Janis Ian
Song: Tea & Sympathy

I don’t want to ride the milk train any more
I’ll go to bed at nine, and waken with the dawn
And lunch at half past noon
Dinner prompt at five

The comfort of a few old friends long past their prime
Pass the tea & sympathy
For the good old days long gone
Let’s drink a toast to those who most

Believe in what they’ve won
It’s a long long time ’til morning
Plays wasted on the dawn
I’ll not write another line,

For my true love is gone
And when the guests have done
I’ll tidy up the room
I’ll turn the covers down

And gazing at the moon
Will pray to go quite mad
And live in long ago
When you and I were one, so very long ago

Pass the tea & sympathy
For the good old days long gone
Let’s drink a toast to those who most
Believe in what they’ve won

It’s a long long time ’til morning
Plays wasted on the dawn
I’ll not write another line,
For my true love is gone

And when I have no dreams
To give you any more,
I’ll light a blazing fire
And wait within the door,

And throw my life away
“I wonder why?” they all will say
And now I lay me down to sleep,
Forever and a day

Pass the tea & sympathy
For the good old days are dead
Let’s drink a toast to those who best
Survived the life they’ve led

It’s a long long time ’til morning,
So build your fires high
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Forever by your side
