Marianne Faithfull - That Was The Day Lyrics
Going home in a trailer filled with canada dry,Looking forward to being with you.Got in to the broadway and what do i find ?Some lady's been sleeping there, too.I was dreamin' of our meetin' all down the m1'cause i hadn't seen you for so long.Then out of the blue, something came down and warned meAnd i sat there and wrote down this song.That was the day that the coke came to nashville,That was the day i laughed till i cried.That was the day all my dreams turned to ashesAnd i lost my blues and i smiled.Well, i walked in the door and i heard you two laughing,Just like i'd hoped that we'd do.So i went up the stairs, left your keys on the table,And i wrote on the mirror, 'we're through!'.That was the day that the coke came to nashville,That was the day that i had, honey.That was the day that the coke came to nashville,And i've got the blues out just bad.Going home on a train, going back to my mother,Feeling better already, keep telling myself:'don't you cry, you'll forget him and find a new lover,So let's sit back and drink to his health.'That was the day that the coke came to nashville,That was the day i laughed till i cried.That was the day that i felt my heart breaking,Ain't it funny, after all i've survived.Ain't it funny, after all i've survived.
