It Never Entered My Mind
Unveiling Hidden Longings: It Never Entered My Mind by Charlie Watts
Lyrics
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
Initially, I found amusement when you spoke.
That I'd be playing solitaire
You predicted that I would engage in solitary activities.
Uneasy in my easy chair
I felt uneasy in my comfortable seat.
It never entered my mind.
The idea never crossed my mind.
And once you told me I was mistaken
You once corrected me, stating I was wrong.
That I'd awaken with the sun
You said I would wake up early with the sunrise.
And ordered orange juice for one.
You even ordered orange juice for one person.
It never entered my mind.
Yet, the thought never crossed my mind.
You had what I lack, myself
You possessed what I lacked, and now I must handle even simple tasks like scratching my back alone.
Now I even have to scratch my back myself.
Once you warned me that if you scorned me,
I would find myself reciting prayers and longing for your presence if you rejected me.
I'd say the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
I would wish for your return and the opportunity to deal with your presence again.
To get into my hair again.
To endure the challenges you bring into my life.
It never entered my mind.
Surprisingly, such thoughts never entered my mind.
It never entered my mind.
The idea never crossed my mind.
