Janis Ian Official Site http://www.janisian.com Artist: Janis Ian Album: Between The Lines 1975 Song: Tea & Sympathy I don't want to ride the milk train any more I'll go to bed at nine & waken with the dawn and lunch at half past noon Dinner prompt at five The comfort of a few old friends long past their prime Pass the tea & sympathy For the good old days long gone We drink a toast to those who most Believe in what they've won It's a long long time 'til morning Plays wasted on the dawn I'll not write another line For my true love is gone When the guests 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 When you & I were one, So very long ago Pass the tea & sympathy For the good old days long gone Let's drink a toast to those who most Believe in what they've won It's a long long time 'til morning Plays wasted on the dawn I'll not write another line For my true love is gone When I have no dreams To give you any more I'll light a blazing fire And wait within the door And throw my life away "I wonder why?" They all will say And now I lay me down to sleep, Forever and a day Pass the tea & sympathy For the good old days are dead Let's drink a toast to those who best Survived the life they've led It's a long long time 'til morning So build your fires high Now I lay me dowm to sleep Forever by your side * Janis Ian Janis Ian (born April 7, 1951[1]) is a Grammy Award-winning American songwriter, singer, multi-instrumental musician, columnist, and science fiction author.

Jan 17, 2008 - TNX for uploading this song ardenHK, it's a gem I didn't know before. Those lyrics are amazing, very nice of you to put them to read in edit-area. They are indeed very rich and meaningful. I think it is about say social retirement and/or growing mature and the pain of being abandoned. Nice little strings in arrangement!
