Mrs. Petrie Lyrics

She saw the wind dry up the rain
Supper's been ready for hours
Write a letter, post it in the morning
In an address, in a better name
He checked his ticket for the train
Going nowhere in particular
Got to get away, guess you'll be okay
She's pretty smart anyway

Why does it seem
So much like it's never been
So many days
Lonely days

The man at the office tipped his chair
Looking closely at his files
Congratulations man, you seem rather sad
I'm sure you'll do just fine

Why does it seem
So much like it's never been
So many days
Lonely days
lonely days

He sat there staring at the sky
Something just doesn't seem quite right
With the color, it doesn't matter
Not much really matters anymore here

Why does it seem
So much like it's never been
So many days
Lonely days
Lonely days
Lonely days
