From someone's wife, a famous writer

In anyone who's ever gone

And opened up a closing door

'Cause we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"

When I went I left from the station

With a haversack and some trepidation

Someone said: "If you're not careful  
 
        Em                     
You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for  
 
             G/A      A7 
In the nineteen-seventies"

But I sat back and looking forward

My shoes were high and I had scored

I'd bolted through a closing door  
 
Am                                  A 
I would never find myself feeling bored
