Tell Tale Signs

Why do you pour the cream and sugar in my coffee

About these cigarettes I don’t believe they’re mine

that I’ll be standing in the shadow of a stranger

more and more I see these scatters tell tale signs

There were teardrops on your pillow again this morning woman

but your problem girl is someone on your mind

I’m afraid to come home early without warning

more and more I see these scatters tell tale signs

Someone else beside myself knows the direction

to the sweetest thing that once was mine alone

somebody else holds the key to my possession

Lord I lost the only treasure I’ve ever known

The telephone is ringing, I’ll get it darling

but I know there’ll be no answer on the line

just the presence of a silent total stranger

cos’ more and more I see these scatters tell tale signs

yes more and more I see these scatters tell tale signs
