Lyrics
[Verse 1] I know that you're sad, I know that you're lonely You lie awake ‘til way past when I want you to know that I'm leaving you only 'Cause I might not get the chance again [Chorus] 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 Often is a word I seldom use Often is a word I seldom use [Bridge] 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 [Verse 2] You must think my life's a circus Watching me laughing and slapping my thighs How'd you like to die in the house of mirrors With nobody around to close your eyes? [Chorus] 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 Often is a word I seldom use Often is a word I seldom use [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 Often is a word I seldom use Often is a word I seldom use Often is a word I seldom use
