Song: We Missed the Boat on Purpose We missed the boat and found the day, The river went its own sweet way. No little square upon my paper Could tell us we had room to play. We missed the boat and found the day, You shook the raindrops from your sleeve. I put the afternoon behind us, And let another one begin. Song: The Shoes They Lent Us In the shoes they lent us, We don't have to look so fine. You can miss the whole arrangement; I can step across the line. Let the little lights keep counting, Let the river take the rain. In the shoes they lent us, I'd be glad to miss again. Song: Five Minutes Before the Cake There were five minutes left before the cake, And one more guest than we had planned to see. A birthday for whoever you may be, And one good slice of sweet uncertainty. Song: We Didn’t Buy the Chair We didn't buy the chair, We have nothing much to carry. We can take the longer turning, We have nowhere else to hurry. Let the blue cloth find a window, Let the other man sit there. We have got the afternoon, Though we didn't buy the chair. Song: A Table for the First Time A table for the first time, Though I know the room by heart. There's a little more to choose from When I make my own small start. I can take the evening slowly, I can order something new. A table for the first time, And a little room for you. Song: A Piano for the Third Floor A piano for the third floor, And a man who knows one tune. There was hope beside the doorway, There was doubt across the room. I could lift the lid on Thursday, I could try a note or two. A piano for the third floor, And a very modest view. Song: It Was Lovely Seeing You It was lovely seeing you, And I mean the words I'm saying. There's a warmth in what we knew That the years have let remain. I can wish you every kindness, I can let the evening close. It was lovely seeing you, And that's as far as this one goes.
