Tea And Sympathy Lyrics - Between The Lines - Janis Ian

I don't want to ride 

The milk train anymore 

I'll go to bed at nine 

And waken with the dawn 

Have lunch at half passed noon 

Dinner prompt at five 

The comfort of a few old friends 

Long passed their prime. 

Pass the tea and sympathy 

For the good ol' days long gone 

Let's drink a toast to those who most 

Believe in what they want 

It's a long, long time 'til mornin' 

Lays wasted on the dawn 

I'll not write another line 

For my true love is gone.

When the guest have done 

I'll tidy up the room 

I'll turn the covers down 

And gazing at the moon 

I'll pray to go quite mad 

And live in long ago 

Where you and I were once 

So very long ago. 

Pass the tea and sympathy 

For the good ole'days long gone 

Let's drink a toast 

To those who most 

Believe in what they want 

It's a long, long time 'til morning 

Lays wasted on the dawn 

I'll not write another line 

For my true love is gone.

When I have no dreams 

To give you anymore 

I'll lite a blazing fire 

And wait within the door 

And throw my life away 

"I wonder why?", they all will say 

Now I lay me down to sleep 

Forever and a day. 

Pass the tea and sympathy 

For the good ol' days are dead 

Let's drink a toast to those who best 

surrvived the life they've led 

It's a long, long time 'til mornin' 

So build your fires high 

Now I lay me down to sleep 

Forever by your side.
