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
