Tea For One Songtext
von Kevin Gilbert

Duncan was always cautious
Never the one to take a stand
Convinced to the bone
That he′s happier alone
And to justify the part
Keeps a closely guarded heart

Standing amidst the subway
He spies the lady of his dreams
And catches her stare
Long enough to make him care
Oh, my Lord, if beauty has a name
Then hers must be the same

Lights upon empty rooms
Home too soon, home too soon
Somewhere inside he burns
It looks like tea for one again
It looks like tea for one again, again


He sees her every day now
And each day he walks her to her door
But ever polite
He still sleeps alone at night
He keeps desire at bay
Afraid to change his ways

Lights upon empty rooms
Home too soon, home too soon
Somewhere inside he burns
It looks like tea for one again
It looks like tea for one again
It looks like tea for one again, again

Grey Monday evening finds him
Making their usual stops alone
Where can she be?
He just has to go and see
And there's roses in his hands
For his new romantic plans

Caught in the pouring rain
He crouches beneath her awning
And there through the screen
Spies his lady of esteem
Not alone, and there′s rapture on her face
Within a man's embrace


Lights upon empty rooms
Home too soon, home too soon
Somewhere inside he burns
It looks like tea for one again

Lights upon empty rooms
Home too soon, home too soon
Somewhere inside he burns
It looks like tea for one again
It looks like tea for one again

Tea for one again
It's gonna be tea for one again
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah
