Often Is A Word I Seldom Use Lyrics - Sweet Revenge - John Prine

I know that you're sad 

I know that you're lonely 

You lie awake 'till way past when 

I want you to know 

That I'm leaving you only 

'Cause I might not get the chance again 

I'm cold and I'm tired 

And I can't stop coughing 

Long enough to tell you all of the news 

I'd like to tell you 

That I'll see you more often 

But often is a word I seldom use 

Often is a word I seldom use

Tell me, where did the weekend go? 

Tell me, where did the weekend go? 

Went like thunder, felt like snow 

Went like thunder, felt like snow 

You must think my life's a circus 

Watching me laughing 

And slapping my thighs 

How'd ya like to die 

In the house of mirrors 

With nobody around to close your eyes 

I'm cold and I'm tired 

And I can't stop coughing 

Long enough to tell you all of the news 

I'd like to tell you 

That I'll see you more often 

But often is a word I seldom use 

Often is a word I seldom use

Going down to the Greyhound station 

Going back home 

And get what's mine 

Got me a date 

With the ten o'clock special 

Gonna be there at a quarter to nine 

I'm cold and I'm tired 

And I can't stop coughing 

Long enough to tell you all of the news 

I'd like to tell you 

That I'll see you more often 

But often is a word I seldom use 

Often is a word I seldom use
