lyrics

she takes her coffee early every morning
she’s given up on sugar long ago
she’s bored but she is happy
as long as she keeps doing what she knows

she leaves the TV on while she’s in bed
she sleeps a little better with the noise
a little lonely but she’s happy
as long as she keeps doing what she knows

when she rides her bicycle to town
to watch the people walking up and down
but any eyes her eyes should meet
she quickly turns hers down toward her feet

she always takes a corner single table
she doesn’t seem to mind eating alone
so she’s shy but she is happy
as long as she keeps doing what she knows

she has trouble waking up as it gets colder
she’s tired of the wind and falling snow
well she’s happy but she’s weary
but she knows that is just the way things go

isn’t it a funny little thing
the comfort that these small routines should bring
but anywhere that she may go
she’s happy if she’s doing what she knows
